A bunch of flowers to Japan

My waterlily in the Veittijärvi lake, Finland.

Last Saturday afternoon the Finnish photographer Stefan Bremer took a flaming picture of tulips and put it on his Facebook page to brighten up the day, having the earthquake disaster in Japan in his mind.
The same evening he noticed that the picture got a great amount of positive response from his friends and invited them to participate.
- Let us by sharing an image of beauty brighten the sorrow of Japan! Please share this picture or post your own, he invited.
That was the beginning of a wonderful album. It was like to light a candle at the place of an accident – sudddenly there are more and more people wanting to participate, creating a new world of light, sending a message of hope and care.
Now when I am writing this the album A Flower of Beauty for Japan has 128 pictures, many by the most famous Finnish photographers and artists.
You can see the album if you are in FB and know a friend of Stefan or some of the photographers. Just ask them to share it.
