I Am Flabbergasted

I don’t know what’s going on in the world.

I’ve spent the better part of my working life as a photo-journalist specialising in certain parts of the Middle East but, despite what I witnessed, I could console myself with the knowledge that there were parts of the world where rationality and tolerance prevailed.

Now we have the likes of Putin in Moscow (Gorbachev’s ideals of glasnost and perestroika are long gone), Nigel Farage in the UK, Marine Le Pen in France, Geert Wilders in The Netherlands, Frauke Petry in Germany, and the front runner of far-right populist clap trap, Donald Trump in the White House.

Seriously, what the hell is happening to our world!

I fear that matters will only get worse :(

Haunting pictures btw. Thank you for that glimpse into the reality many of us try to turn away from.

thank you.

what was more haunting for me was this guy. this is what these people (i use the term loosely) were protesting against.

while they were burning their flares in front of The Colosseum, he watched on from the park they were about to enter.

i wonder what was going on in his mind.
