Oh my, what a startling and accomplished photo! It's equal parts charming and horrifying. ¡Increíble!

Great shot. Pardon the pun. I hope they're toys. In this world, I wouldn't be surprised if they were real, too. Let us know, please.

It is too disturbing toy or not the idea is portrayed here. Frankly I find no artistic value in the image. Displaying peace allows peace. Displaying violence allows violence.

Yes , are christmas toys. The boys came from far away to the city to pass the christmas in Quito, seleeping on the streets, it is a very sad panorama. It is a kind of tradition for the poor people go to nearest big city and ask for christmas present , REGALE LA NAVIDAD?. Those boys came with the mother and four kits more , 2 sisiters and 2 younger brothers. The place where they sleep was an old hose in front of Carolina park wich is a comercial area in Quito.
