Blue, white and red brassieres, the colours of the French national flag, hang from a balcony in Marseille, France, November 27, 2015 as the French President called on all French citizens to hang the tricolour national flag from their windows on Friday to pay tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks during a national day of homage.

Cool pics. The link is missing!?

Opps sorry for the Zanza, I've corrected the link, the photo of the week is at the top of the page.

I prefer Reuters for photojournalism, as the BBC and some other mainstream news channels seem to censor their photo links for things that might 'upset' their viewers/readers.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
