Protesters march...
TODAY'S PHOTO

After mourning, time for reflection This year's bitter summer had yet more losses, more pain, in store for us. After the razing of our country's forests and the destruction of people's properties, now we are mourning the human lives that have been lost in these latest fires - the heaviest losses of all. These are hours of mourning and reflection. It is not a time for empty words. The horror we have witnessed cannot be expressed.

TODAY'S PHOTO

Some silence, please There are moments that I would really, really like to not hear any debate or conversation around me. There are moments such as these when, I am sure, many of my fellow citizens would also appreciate some silence from the media, an embargo on this endless commentary at long last.
