There was something subtly funny in the thumb of this image that called me to open it. It is still there, though this shows a struggle of life.

If the human race were more thoughtful and took care of their own trash then his load would be less. I don't find this sad at all, I think he is inspirational...VV

She looks like she might be Asian, maybe grew up carrying harvests this way - only now a very different harvest.
