130 Street Photographies after the Paris Attacks - 130 photographies de rue, après les attentats de Paris - In Memoriam
Tomorrow on January 10, 2016, there will be a Republican commemorative ceremony to honor all the victims of the string of terrorist attacks which took place in 2015 in the greater Paris region. To that effect, a 12-m high oak tree was planted on Place de la République called l'Arbre du Souvenir or "Tree of Remembrance" ...
It will be inaugurated by the president of the French Republic.
It is estimated this Turkey Oak can live for 200 years; the oak tree was chosen as it symbolizes strength. It used to be a symbol of justice as well since all the French people probably have an imagery of King Saint Louis sitting under an oak tree to dispense justice.
This photo is part of a series capturing the atmosphere of Paris after 11/13 in 130 pictures, one each day for each of the 130 Paris Attack victims.
