500px provided description: Taken inside of the Tunnel of Hope (or Sarajevo Tunnel) in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Walking through the tunnel, I could feel the hope, fear, and ambition embedded within the wooden support beams. The Tunnel of Hope was an underground tunnel constructed between March and June 1993 during the Siege of Sarajevo. It was built by the Bosnian Army to link Sarajevo (entirely cut off by Serbian forces) with Bosnian territory on the other side of the Sarajevo Airport.
