Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

Fabulous pics! The metro one is a keeper - the kind of image that just makes me curl up with pleasure.

Thanks...that shadowy child holding someone's hand is actually part of an ad poster on the metro wall, for the Holocaust Museum of Montreal, so it definitely has a dark side to it. I decided to crop out the words and leave it ambivalent, while emphasizing the reader.
