Homeless Haven for the kids or for the mattresses? The kids look too well-dressed to be homeless, and while the matts may be homeless, I certainly don't think they would consider this abusive situation to be a "haven." Don't you love it when I abuse you, Justin?

This would be the cover photo for a National Geographic Story about the modern street mattress. A serious piece of photo journalistic work, Mr H-F. Well done.

Fantastic photo! These mattresses have found friends and a new life on the streets.
