bags of a life

hopefully they will get better sleeping arrangements before too long
especially as the Winter sets in



some of the bags seems to be on an airport trolly
although the park is not near an airport

I deliberately left part of the man walking on the right of the picture to show what the other lady was looking towards

great shot. Almost looks like the blue bag has someone in it as well.

Pretty fancy trolly for a homeless person. Very interesting photo Marie.

That is a quality shot and tells a big story. Well done, Marie.

Nice photo Marie- the people around him say as much about the situation as he and his bags do.

thank you very much for the comments Keri , Sandy , Maureen and Alan

maybe he was just travelling between airports
(for some reason I had thought it was a woman at first)

Looks like she just spent her life's savings on a plane ticket out of town, arrived in a new city, got a trolley for her things, and just kept walking and walking until she collapsed.

Nobody has yet mentioned the frame - that is great! And in full contrast with the topic of the picture (or maybe not, she might have very colourful dreams ...)

seems like you could be right , thanks Craig

it is a long way to the large airports around London (Heathrow, Stansted , Gatwick) to where 'she' is sleeping there on the bench

unless she came through London City Airport
(it's a very handy place to land)

it would be the nearest for her as the picture was taken in St James Park right in the city of London

I wasn't too sure if it were a man or a woman, mainly because of the big boots (and hands)

thank you Olli
I was trying to add a comfort zone for 'her' in the framing, I think
It was only later I remembered I done it for a man on a bench too (a few years ago). I put a 'soft edge' frame around him as he lay asleep in the grounds of a famous castle.
