In Memoriam: Boxing Day Tsunami
Today, we reflect on and remember, the many lives that were lost in the gloomy tragedy that happened on one of the beaches here in Phuket. After a few years, I could see lots of warning signs and tsunami safe routes all over the beaches of Phuket. Besides the people that are in 'temporary' shelters up to now, in Banda Ache, people in Phuket seem to be coping very well.
It's business, as usual...

Hi my friend,

A great tribute to remember the natural disaster.. Truly some sad moments but it made us realise to be more careful and more caring of mother nature...Great POV and well composed...

That day was a reminder of how vulnerable we all are on this planet ... a clear and unforgettable reminder that nature can so easily destroy us.
And yet our politicians continue to dither over the reality of our influence over nature, particularly global warming.
A poignant shot, thanks for this reminder.

A nice tribute, Freddie, and what better way other than a photo! I remember vividly the avi videos of the disaster and how horrible it was.

Peace and calm now, that is what is important. TFS, bill

In this frame the wave looks like friendly, what happened three years ago proved they can act otherwise...
This is a fine reminder of the tragedy, a nicely composed image telling the story well!
