I think my favorite photo so far is the descending line of houses identical but for their vivid array of colors.

The story about the Tittanic in the context of being there in a town that had such an immediate relationship with it ... really puts it all in the here and now. Real people. Real places. Real tragedy.

It's called the Deck of Cards.

This entry made me think of yet another amazing Celtic-Irish folk singer and harpist - Loreena McKennit. On one of her albums there's a very poignant song about families parting ways forever, as so many felt the need to leave Ireland just to survive, but knowing there would be little chance of seeing their loved ones ever again.

Also, the Titanic has very special significance for the Bahá'ís all over the world, as the son of the prophet Bahá'u'lláh was almost on the Titanic, but opted for a more modest, less expensive ship in order to arrive in the USA. Pretty amazing stuff!
