Rush hour by halkia

Rush hour

8.38 am: Due to circumstances I've started travelling to work during rush hour several times a week for the time being. That takes some getting used to after not having commuted before 9 am since early 2001. It's much busier on the platform and in the train and there's a different kind of people travelling at this time - more office workers and less students and tourists.
l like this photo, really captures the atmosphere of rush hour travelling, and the tracks running into the distance, full of promise.

Great composition! You seem to be very close to the edge!

Ah yes. Everyone absorbed in the paper, the phone, the starting down the rail line. Rush hour looks much the same where ever you are. Nice capture.

Look at all the morning newspapers! Sad that now you're part of the rush hour mob. I leave work at 4 most days, before the madness, but if I stay until 5, I always regret it, I drive though, which is different. You get to people-watch, which can be fun at times. :-) Great shot!

The people are mostly absorbed in what they are doing, into their own little worlds of newspaper and phone. Very few noticing the world around them. They miss out on a lot of things that you see while taking photos.

@5unflow3r Driving in rush hour is almost impossible in this part of the country. It would take me much longer than by train.

@grannysue You're so right! I always have my camera with me while commuting and I also take shots out of the train window :)

Brilliant shot, I like how the tracks fade out in the distance. Very familiar scene too from my time spent in Holland
