They are powerful photos! I think my favourite is the one of the Koala, I remember the devistation of those fires and that picture being on the front page of every newspaper in Australia when the fires went through.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo too! It's like the koala isn't even afraid of the fireman. He's been through so much already that his instincts are just telling him to trust and to get some water.
