Oh I see, develop my thread- give me a few reps points and it's cool, I have a big fat 0!!
And it will stay at 0 till you reach 100 posts.
Seriously, yeah sorry for not mentioning you in my post. Your thread got me the idea for this one. :thumbsup:
Kabul, Afghanistan
Bibi Aisha, 18, was disfigured as retribution for fleeing her husband’s house in Oruzgan province, in the center of Afghanistan. At the age of 12, Aisha and her younger sister had been given to the family of a Taliban fighter under a Pashtun tribal custom for settling disputes. When she reached puberty she was married to him, but she later returned to her parents’ home, complaining of violent treatment by her in-laws. Men arrived there one night demanding that she be handed over to be punished for running away. Aisha was taken to a mountain clearing, where, at the orders of a Taliban commander, she was held down and had first her ears sliced off, then her nose. In local culture, a man who has been shamed by his wife is said to have lost his nose, and this is seen as punishment in return. Aisha was abandoned, but later rescued and taken to a shelter in Kabul run by the aid organization Women for Afghan Women, where she was given treatment and psychological help. After time in the refuge, she was taken to America to receive further counseling and reconstructive surgery.
Potocari, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Relatives of victims mourn at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial and Cemetery on the 15th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. During the 1992-1995 Bosnian War, the town of Srebrenica was declared a UN safe zone, to which thousands of Bosnian Muslims fled. The advancing Bosnian Serb Army overran the Dutch peacekeepers there in July 1995, killing more than 8,000 men and boys from in and around the town. The massacre is considered the worst atrocity in Europe since the Second World War and is the only episode from the Bosnian War to be declared an act of genocide by the UN war crimes tribunal. During the anniversary ceremony, 775 bodies newly identified from mass graves using DNA testing were buried at the cemetery, joining the 3,749 already interred there.
Let take a nice one to end with: the Boston lunar eclipse during the cup final on June 15th. The world was treated to a rare display of full lunar eclipse on Tuesday night. The eclipse lasted for over 100 minutes in parts of Asia, Europe and Africa, making it the longest since 2000 and one of the longest on record, according to NASA. The partial eclipse will last for three hours and 40 minutes.
This picture was taken in Cairo.
It's hard however to choose the best pictures out of a complete year. I've found some very nice and very hard pictures, some terrible bad news pictures, hardly any good news pictures.
I really hope every single one of us contrabutes to this topic, it might be a nice slight show of the year.

I like this one much better. It's more interesting to search for nice pictures yourself then just look at them on a website, which is only a collection of pictures chosen by the editor.
