2011 Remembered

2011 Remembered
Many worldwide events happened in 2011 which had a profound effect on me, whether the event touched my heart, made me happy or had me in awe. I thought I would list these events in photographic form as I think the photographs say it all. I wanted to remember the people who were involved in these events; those who suffered, those who lost loved ones or homes, and those who are now gone.

My list is in order of date they occurred and are events that made an impact on me – your list may be very different, so feel free to leave a comment and let us know which events/people you would like to remember.

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI ~ 11th March
(Wikipedia)
WEDDING OF WILLIAM & KATE ~ 29th April
FINAL SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH ~ 8th July

NORWAY ATTACKS ~ 22 July

9/11 – 10TH ANNIVERSARY ~ 11th September
(Wikipedia)
TRIAL OF CONRAD MURRAY ~ 27th September
(Wikipedia)
DEATH OF STEVE JOBS ~ 5th October

Here’s hoping 2012 brings many sweet memories, peaceful times, love and happiness.

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

The July22 is still schoking today. It was the worst tragedy in Norway since WW2. And no one could believe that this could happen in modern times in this little country.
Horrible.
