Predawn light on a copse of trees in the left mid ground under grey skies. The left foreground is a grassy knoll. A wooden fence, strangely illuminated, fills the right side of the picture. The words “Notes from Cancerworld” have been added to the top of the photo.

This work of art was created by Anja Rozen, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Slovenia. She was chosen from over 600,000 children worldwide to create a picture of peace - a shining symbol in an often torn world. Anja is the proud winner of the international Poster Miru competition - the poster of peace.

In the gray hazy predawn light a copse of trees stands in the middle ground on the left side of the photo while a wooden fence, illuminated by a flash stands in the foreground on the right hand side of the photo. The words “notes from Cancerworld” (in all caps) have been added to the top of the photo.
