[Leica] IMGs: Memorial at Nice x 3

[Douglas Barry]

A few months ago, on Bastille Day - July 14th - while celebrating the French 
national day, eighty six innocent people were killed, and four hundred and 
thirty four people were injured in a utterly senseless attack by a 
delusional Daesh supporter. The attack occured on the Promenade de Anglais 
when the fanatical scumbag, driving a large truck, drove into helpless 
people, mowing them down. All for the greater glory of Allah, of course.

This tragedy prompted me to choose Nice as a destination when I heard that 
people were cancelling their holidays in droves. OK it was a very small 
gesture of defiance, but if we allow evil to triumph in small ways, its 
pervasive miasma grows remorselessly.

There's a spontaneous and emotional memorial to the dead and injured men, 
women and children which sprang up after the attack in a small park near the 
site of the tragedy. Here are three pictures.
