Light of Hope

We can definitely need that today...
A 2nd World War bomb was discovered on a ground in Minden city this afternoon and 6000 people have to be evacuated. It is currently being neutralized by some experts. The people are going to sleep in my school. Luckily me and my family and friends all live on the outskirts of town outside where it's risky so none of us is directly affected. Of course we still hope all will go well, please send some thoughts this way! :)
The light was on the terrace of some friends where we had a Greek dinner today.. ^^

Keeping myself up to date with this live ticker, if anyone's interested: http://www.mt.de/lokales/minden/20199739_Live-Ticker-Bombe-gefunden-Evakuierung-laeuft-noch.html (sadly in German, but maybe you can get some info if you paste it into Google Translate) :)
Saying a prayer that all will go well and the people in Minden can move back in without incident. Nice shot of this light.

@mcsiegle Thanks a lot Mary, totally apprecicated! :) This is so frightening but also a bit thrilling... The live ticker says it might be done at 0:40 CEST, it's currently 0:10 so let's hope for the best!!

Oh, wow, Jule. It's a bit frightening to think that there is still unexploded WW2 ordinance anywhere. I hope everyone's well, there. Be safe, my friend! Excellent photo in light of today's events.

@mcsiegle @kannafoot We got the sign 5 minutes ago. It's done, the bomb is neutralized! Thanks for your wishes! Maybe I can get some sleep now. It's 01:38 :/

That is some sized bomb, makes you think back on how senseless war is and of course the after effects. Nice capture with the light.
