What a thought provoking photo. As I first looked I saw the colourful walls, then saw the sleeping bodies. Then noticed the detritus around them.
So sad.

Thankyou for posting it.

A superb image, it does what a good shot does, makes you think. There but for the grace of god and all that.
One day you'll find, 10yrs have got behind you.

Once upon a time they were someone's babies with their lives ahead of them, full of hope and opportunity. My wife works in the local food bank and she's always asking the question, how did they come to this?
A fine and haunting image.
Best wishes,

Andrew

The colourful backdrop makes this thought provoking image even more poignant. Even in some of the world's more affluent societies - Perth WA is hardly third world - the gap between the haves and the have nots is disturbing. Thanks for sharing Gary.

Excellent photograph... Thought provoking subject matter, and very well composed... The full colour of the shot adds to its stark content...

Best

This one is really thought provoking. Thank you.
