Students waiting for a train, a photo from Tochigi, Kanto

Photographer's Note

This photograph is taken at JR Imaichi Station in Tochigi Prefecture. While several local female high school students do waiting for a train on the bench of a plathome, they are chatting with the friend. A local railway has very few route numbers in the daytime. Also in this Nikko Line, that has connected Nikko to Utsunomiya, the up-and-down line is only running 1-2 in one hour daytime. Probably, there is little demand by development of a private car and the bus on a regular route. If we travel rural areas well, we will notice that a train has many students at morning or evening. It is helpful as a means of attending school. However, I who live in the city am always irritated because few train.

Hello Mikio,

good image of daily life, I like the composition, it's original with the students in the back blurred. Details are well captured.

Best regards,

Hello Mikio,

Interesting picture of yours. If at first I thought the main subject (the girls) was off focus, on a second thought I like the atmosphere created be your picture. This sign that I can not read is giving me direction on how to join the others if I want to get into the next train.

Great composition and colours.

Hello Kato

Creative capture of daily live in Japan
The red arrows at the FG seems to signal the blurred waiting girls at the BG

Please don´t complain about trains, here in Argentina there are also few and they are old and dirty
Greetings
