Risky Journey, a photo from Chittagong, South

Photographer's Note

In Bangladesh there some people who don’t afford a railway ticket so they are forced to travel on the rooftop of the coaches and on the junction between two coaches. There have been many casualties and accidents so far still poor people have barely any choice left but taking such risks. These poor women take hold of the coach junction away from the vigilant eyes of the ticket checker.

Fantastic picture. You just can feel the speed here. Colours and sharpness are great! I like the way both women try to share something (a peace of bread?) forgetting for a while the dangerous position they're in.
