day 08 → a photo that makes you sad



Young evacuees living at the foothills of the rumbling Mayon volcano pray during a special class at a temporary shelter in a village near the town of Guinobatan in Albay province on December 21, 2009. More than 3,000 villagers remaining in a no-go zone around the Philippines’ rumbling Mayon volcano on December 21 began to evacuate after officials threatened to force them out. Scientists warned that powerful booms emanating from the Southeast Asian country’s most active volcano, located about 330 kilometres (200 miles) southeast of Manila, indicated that a major eruption was imminent.


It's more the circumstances of the photo that makes me sad. Those kids are beyond adorable and I can't imagine how frightened they must have been when that picture was taken.
