The other side of the tracks

the workers and less privileged live here. Across from the station an all along the tracks.

[Susan Wakely]

Not quite so luxurious.

[Casablanca]

Classic sight

[Wylie]

life can be pretty hard

[Joan Robillard]

Life is never even handed

[Kathy A]

They have a nice view behind

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow such a contrast

[winghong_ho]

The view is nice.

[Brian]

Stark

[Bec]

Such a contrast.

[katy]

It doesn’t look as elegant, but it still looks like decent size homes that are not in a really sad state of repair. Their landscaping could use a little help.

[Steve Chappell]

Nice find

[Dione Giorgio]

The circle of life : the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. At least these people have a roof above their heads, there are millions around the world who have to sleep on the ground outside, come sun or rain.

[Judith Johnson]

The houses look pretty sturdy all the same

[Mags]

Lovely little homes.

[narayani]

Looks a sweet little house

[Peter Dulis]

barren

[Christine Sztukowski]

Photo certainly has a story to tell

[KV]

On first glance the homes look pretty good… when you look close you can see all the repairs needed. The mountains look pretty nice.

[Lisa Brown]

very poignant story telling

[Merrelyn]

Quite a contrast to the Lord Milner Hotel.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

Yes, how the other half live, and yet this will still be relatively luxurious compared to some.

[Louise & Ken]

I decidedly agree with Issi!

[bkb in the city]

Great capture but sad when people have to live like that

[Margaret Brown]

A nice contrasting photo

[Corinne C]

They seem in need of repair. The scenery behind the houses is fabulous.

[Peter]

Well captured in lovely detail Diana:)

[Krista Marson]

Looks dry out there

[Rob Z]

This is an amazing image - it makes quite a social comment, especially against that background.

[Lou Ann]

A wonderful image. Appreciated your narrative.

[Heather]

A great shot, Diana, to show this side of the tracks. Such a contrast!

[Kerry McCarthy]

So sad to see the disparity between the segments of the societies, all over the world.

[Bucktree]

Good capture. Many homes like this here and also along the tracks.

[Islandgirl]

What a contrast!

[Shutterbug]

I’m glad they are housed. Homelessness is becoming a huge problem here.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Maybe not as luxurious but with a little TLC and paint, they'd be rather quaint.

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Bill]

Potential.

[Bobbi C]

They are lovely little homes against a beautiful backdrop.

Some of you are right, even here many are sleeping in shacks or on the pavements just covered with a piece of plastic. :-(

[Diana]

@grammyn That's a good one Katy ;-)

@shutterbug49 Same here Debbie, and it's getting more every year :-(

[John]

I feel certain they’ve made comfortable homes for themselves. It doesn’t take money to be happy!
