Coal story - Together Photo

Photographer’s Note

One day I met this man, his horses and his cart in the main street of Bytom. I didn't know who he is. So I've done my private investigation and this series of photos is the result.
His name is Sylwester Jagla and he transports coal from Bobrek coal mine with his horses and his cart. He is the only man in Bytom who carries coal using horses.

This is the fourth photo - Together. I decided to show you rather long series. I presume Mr. Jagla and his friends deserve it.

Of course, the B&W version. As all the pictures in this serie.

Lovely again!

Poprzednie bardziej do mnie przemawia. Tak czy inaczej jedna z ciekawszych serii na TE od dawna.

Do serii pasuje lepiej cz-b, ale ja wole wersję kolorową. Poza tym tam pan sylwester jest usmiechnięty. Ciekawy obiekt za nimi.

Witaj Jan.

Strong picture with an amazing subject. Somehow I like this one very much cause the black and white and the people who appear in the photo.

Well done.
