Can it Only Get Better?

Unfortunately I don't think so. I have selected a random selection of images from my part of the world along with some from Leek (Staffordshire) which is struggling from loss of its industry in the 90's. Other selections are from Barcelona and Italy. I was particularly pleased to see images around Italy highlighting their solidarity with Palestinian people. Maybe there is a flicker of hope after all! I have selected a great Joan Armatrading song for this set - Down to Zero
