   1. Yes. It was a colder winter, with temperatures close to 0 degrees centigrade.

      1. That happens here (Canada) too and people freeze to death.

      2. I would never have believed it…. Freezing to death is sad… Really sad

      3. We do try to get people to go to shelters for the night but some don’t want to go. There are a lot of people with mental health issues on the streets.

      4. I an imagine.. I did some research on this for a photo essay I did… Sadly, no one wanted to publish it.,
         They found the anonymity of the soles of the feet that belong to homeless people to be repulsive..

         Since when, I asked one publisher, did homelessness and misery become pretty?

      5. It is a sad testament to the times we are living in and it isn’t pretty.

      6. True… Sometimes, I think I am an idiot, and should just carry on life in my own merry way… But..

      7. I think it is our duty to speak for these people who can’t speak for themselves. If we do it with our art, our photos or our music it brings it into focus. Governments have to step forward and take some responsibility for it too.

4. A very emotional image– even a weathered, worn expression on his face as he sleeps. Such a fantastic post.
