Sarajevo Roses
@oregonfrost posted a photo on Instagram today and it made me curious.
During the siege of Sarajevo from 1992-95 an average of over 300 shells hit the city every day. On July 22nd, 1993 alone 3,777 shells hit the city. The craters left behind by the shelling were filled with red resin to mark the casualties suffered at the spot. The patterns created are reminiscent of flowers and they were nicknamed “Sarajevo Roses.”
