George headed off to the
Maker’s Place Sunday, and once again I headed for the beach.
There was a parking spot
right at the sea wall, and the surf was roaring. The tide was out, and so even this unusually
high surf only pounded the bottom of the pier.
There was sea weed up on the sidewalk, and sea water in the street from
the earlier high tide. There were crowds
too. I love times like this.
The crowds stayed far, far
away from the homeless man sleeping on top of the wall. I could have made him a far more interesting
photograph, but I left it alone except for cropping.

"The wall" will never have the same vision for me for years. We all tend to be fearful of homeless...they may ask us for money, give us a disease, throw an emotional fit, assault us. NOT. I know they are just people who have made bad decisions and had bad luck. At least he has the most beautiful bedroom, if no privacy.
ReplyDeleteThe homeless man has a beautiful view for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe homeless guy has a million dollar view if not much in the way of comfort. My heart goes out to him.
ReplyDeleteWe watched "Leave No Trace" the other night -- an Amazon Prime movie about a man and his daughter who lived off the grid. Based on a true story from the book, "My Abandonment." The father and daughter lived in a national forest, which is against the law. Sad, sad story -- the father was a vet with PTSD. No idea what happened to the mother. I've ordered the book from my library. It was THAT good of a movie! He and others who were living there in the forest were homeless. A very complex problem.
