This is Home!

Although these kids looked sad when i took the shot, they were actually very happy and excited to have their picture taken. The sadness does however reflect the harsh environment these kids grow up in.
This shot taken in the Tripoli Medina which part of dates back to Roman times.

    Torn and torn and torn again. Beautiful little faces, I hope they live long and fulfill their dreams, and that their dreams are good and kind, despite the rough streets.

    A sobering, powerful image. Travel is broadening, particularly when encountering the reality of others’ lives which is often not the palm tree dreams of travel posters. Congrats on your Feature and for reminding the rest of us to be grateful for the blessings we enjoy.
