Sarajevo Rose
Sarajevo Roses are spots on the sidewalk where shells fell during the war. They leave a spiral mark that is very distinguishable, once you have seen one, you see them everywhere.
I was told that people have filled some of them in with red paint, but until today I hadn't seen any of them like that. I had only seen the ones that look like an unnatural skeletal mark in the concrete.
This one is near our hostel.
Last time I was in Sarajevo, I saw more and photographed some. If you would like to see them, you can cut and paste this URL http://rubyincroatia.blogspot.com/2007/06/sarajevo-roses.html

About Me
- Ruby Reid, MSW
- I am currently pursuing a PhD in Social Welfare at Berkeley, concentrating in local, national and international responses to large-scale disasters, wars, and genocide. To me, social work is not a job. It is a way of life, a faith, and a daily practice. My mother is a social worker and I was instilled with social work values as a young child. I carry those values of respect and compassion for other human beings, the importance of service and integrity, and these values lead me to endorse Barack Obama for President of the United States. Barack Obama represents a new and positive vision for the future of America. He is honest, hard-working, and unafraid to face the nuanced and complex problems of our country and our interconnected world. I am proud to support a candidate who will truly bring change for the American people and for all members of the world community.
