Taxis Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Well, Japan is a very systematic country. Everything here is in very order. The perfect order in which these taxis are waiting for passengers shows it all. This shot is taken at Sendai station. Sendai is a beautiful city around 300km from Tokyo.

Hello Rabin,
It´s almost like frightening, as a nightmare feeling.
I wouldn´t want to be a taxidriver over there!
A very interesting photo, very curious,indeed!

Hi Rabin,
I love the repetitive pattern created by the mass of taxis here. It is amazing, so many. You have done really well with the low light here and I like that we are able to make out some of the individual drivers inside the taxis. Well done!
Regards
Wanda

Excellent catch. Could be right out of a scifi movie. Very good realization.

This is a very effective shot... appeals to the humans desire for symmetry!
Though I hate taxi's... this is an irresistible photo!

Thanks!

I got a little dizzy looking at this picture, because of the composition and also because of the message it carries. Great photo!

Great picture and note. Well managed exposition that gets both the taxis and their lights.
