Seen in Romania, some years ago… an all but deserted station, and this man went up to the train, collected a package, and returned across the tracks.
I love continental trains and stations…great wide expanses unlike those in the UK. And they have low platforms. Altogether a different experience….

Crossing the tracks
Maybe it’s the old quality of the photo but that man looks so sad.
For me it is a story about solitude and makes me feel a deep concern about his uncertain future.
Hmm, you have a point there…
Wonderful composition. The man makes the photo interesting.
Thanks, Angeline. I wanted an image of the wide space with the tracks and two trains, but it needed more…..then he turned up!
A beautiful capture Sue. You cannot begin to imagine how different it is for me!!! 🙂
I guess you are referring to the lack of people!
I wonder if something illegal is going on. The man’s wearing a uniform, yes. But only to throw suspicion!
I think he was police….
