Afternoon with my mother.



Spending time with  mum,Which one of us do not have those lovely memories?  The times when we were valuable and yet so feel so safe in the arms of our mum.  This vision can not be more associated with
childhood we are so often longing for as adults. The picture below however is an exact moment could't be more disturbing and contradicting for a contemporary viewer.







There it is a picturesque scene of joys of motherhood, ability t introduce child to a new things in life teach them about world and  life, it is exactly what this woman on the picture is doing. And yet it is so wrong. 
Lovely peaceful afternoon but what cot the attention of the family in the picture, atomic explosion!
How unthinkable is it today to even imagine that people were so unaware of the dangers of the nuclear weapon and how cruel and absolutely careless of the garment to let that kind of situation occur.  It was an atomic test in Las Vegas in 1953. This picture is not the only one of that kind showing how different knowledge of the world and world itself has changed.
How many people did pay the price for that knowledge is another subject matter.
