Cold Comfort
The arctic condition sweeping across Europe has led to the
deaths of a number of homeless people.
Fortunately local charities working with the homeless say
there are no 'rough sleepers' on the town's streets these
cold nights.

You show with your capture that there is so much more to Winter as nice romantic snow shots. Especially for the unfortunate, Winter is a huge threat!V!

but your bottle proof that there are still people sleeping and walking whole day around in the cold
a very touchy still life

A very poignant shot, particularly at this time of year. But yet a beautiful image in its way, too.

I know. it´s a tragedy to see in the news what´s happening and I still don´t understand why it has to be this way!

A very powerful image; I echo Lynn's comments; a timely reminder to us all.

Very sad. Many homeless have other disabilities too, whether mental, physical or emotional. We all have a responsibility to lift our brother when he is down.. Good work with this image, the strong contrast and dark mood, frost...

Emotive composition. Agree with Cindi.

It's an awful thing to think of people being hungry and cold...

Well told in picture and a real concern.

Good to know. I always pray for the homeless and give old coats and blankets to our homeless shelters and churches. I saw an old man today going through the trash as I stopped off top pick up something to eat for breakfast so I got him a couple of kolaches as well. My heart just goes out to these folks. So many will warm up through booze but they can fall asleep and freeze to death. So sad! Nice image!!!
