British Red Cross

Ms K and I are visiting my daughter in Gravesend, Kent, right beside the Thames. It's a nice town, very diverse, especially with folks from former UK colonies. Great public transportation, good food, and an easy vibe. I don't think I'll get warm until we return to the desert though, lol.

The man towing his tote bag makes the street scene real. I enlarged your photo and saw the four words in the window above the mannequins ~ "The power of kindness."
"The British Red Cross centers its messaging on "The power of kindness". This slogan emphasizes that small acts of kindness from individuals can make a profound difference in a crisis."

You're up early! I'm still not used to the eight hour time difference. Glad you liked the photo! I don't do much street photography, but Gravesend is an interesting place so I'm trying!
