Now the link title and site don't give you any useful information about the topic it is fair but the photo is not a graphic one of the children. I fear that if you sanitise your life to the extent of avoiding such photos you risk a severe shock at some point and possibly in real life.

The graphic part is the visible emotions of those in the crowd.

Looking at your posting history you submitted a before and after [edit: Google Earth satellite] photo of the earthquake in Japan 2011. To me that is far more shocking as I can't help but imagine briefly at the impact on those there, hundreds of children lost and others orphaned.




Yes, that wasn't a good submission by me. I aim to do better in the future.


I wasn't really complaining about that but more commenting on the range of what people feel shocking. The photo in this case was not in my view problematic.

Death, pain and suffering happen all the time and while it shouldn't be fetishised it also doesn't seem a great idea to hide or deny it either.
