"That picture was taken in the lion cemetery during my second trip to Bosnia, around December 92. That place used to be a public park near the Kosevo hospital, and was turned into a cemetery due to the war, and proximity from that hospital.

If I recall well the figures, over 30.000 people died during the siege of Sarajevo, including 10.000 children..."
