An unusual memorial.

Lots of discussions about this memorial since it was unveiled two weeks ago. Everyone could use a warm blanket after a horrible event is my take on it. And the sculpture is heated, so everyone will touch it to find out.

These are important to keep in mind what we've lost and honor those victims. Very often those who may pass by never knew this story, and now they shall.

That is poetic.

I will most likely take more photos of it, becoming quite popular already.
