Speaking Through Silence! History constantly reminds us about our past! It is a way for us to remember what happened during the time we left behind. Important events happened long before we were born can be found written vividly in the history books. But nothing better can help us to travel down the memory lanes than the photographs of these events—be it black and white or colored! This is my opinion. Because, photographs speak thousand words silently whether we like them or not like them. Now let us consider viewing the photographs of some important events posted below and ponder on the impacts of these events left on the people of the world as a whole! A short note on each of the photographs: 1. Camels walking near the burning Kuwaiti oil fields that had been blown up by retreating Iraqi troops, 1991. 2. An oil lake and devastated desert landscape in the burning greater Al Burgan oil fields in Kuwait after the end of the Gulf War in May of 1991. More than 700 wells were set ablaze by retreating Iraqi troops creating the largest man-made environmental catastrophe. 3. The Beatles at the time of their iconic Abbey Road shot. 4. Fidel Castro plays baseball, 1959. 5. A Coca Cola Delivery truck 1909. 6. An American evacuee punches a South Vietnamese man during the evacuation from Saigon! 7. Howard Hughes inside of the H-4 Hercules, the largest Airplane at that time. 8. Interior of a London Pub1898. 9. The slums of Washington DC 1940. 10.Charlie Chaplin and Mahatma Gandhi.           |

Photo talks always but silently!

The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is very often true. Sometimes, it is in the mind of the viewer, but some pictures are best viewed in silence. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

JKH-- Thanks for your inputs. Castro studied law but never practiced it. He was a good baseball player but preferred to fight the hated Dictator who ruled Cuba at that time.

Thank you so much for your response, earthytaurus. I appreciate. It is said that history repeats itself. But we do not learn anything from it! Stay well and Cheerful.
