Children Sledding On Garbage! AMAZING

Saw something amazing today, something I have never seen before. Two young boys wearing old beat up motorcycle helmets sledding down a hill of garbage, incredible! Children will find joy and fun in the most difficult environments. When I was. A child I used to sled down clean cold hills of Canadian snow, here in the dump they do it on garbage. The boys used a shiny piece of metal possibly from the wheel trim area of a car to ride on.

I made a few portraits and a far off wide angle video, will post them later.

You should have seen the joy on the faces of these young children. The feeling of the beauty and the ugly in this scenario is mind boggling. Why do children have to live and play in worlds like this? People in the West are more in concearned with their cats and dogs than the young lives I saw today. And yet even in this most difficult of situation these young boys found a way to laugh and have fun.
The human experience is so deep and confusing.
