Homeless in Seattle

An unfortunate scene in Waterfront Park, Seattle WA. What is more disturbing… this could have been taken almost anywhere in the US of A. Taken with a Nikon D80, 18-200 VR lens at f5.3, 1/250 sec, 75 mm.

    I was drawn to the wheelchair as well. It is in in good shape, kind of indicates that someone or group is trying to help here.

    Haunting…...we were in Seattle recently and I was shocked at the amt. of homeless people down on the waterfront. In the parking areas there were grocery carts sitting without their owners, full…....and being left alone…In one spot there was a blanket and sheet on the ground also being left alone, still there the next day….their stuff doesnt get touched by other people and it seems to me that the other homeless are the only ones that share a respect for one another….this photo tells it all….................thankyou

    You make an interesting point, it did appear that within the homeless society, at least here, there is a respect for one anothers things. I don’t know what that says about them….. us. John
