[Jean-Michel Mertz]

Thank you, Douglas, for this gesture. A senseless tragedy for all of us. Very emotional pictures. We always tend to believe this won't happen again ... and then ...

Objet : [Leica] IMGs: Memorial at Nice x 3

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.
