Indiscretion....

.......yes, I accept it! But she was so much in her own world...as if she were not on a train! And I cannot read on a train, I cannot put those things in my ears to listen to music, I cannot forget where I am...so...I envied her! And those stockings,too! Wow!....I guess I'm really getting old!

Reading, and listening to music at the same time is just crazy!

Ah le fameux look des étudiantes Japonaises ! On commence à voir ce phénoméne débarquer en Europe inspiré directement du monde des mangas.

There is something about images taken on a train, I love them, you have captured this well, people in their down time just doing their thing, great shot Gabriela!

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

I also agree with you. It's a good "stealed" image of the girl and also of the boy, who looks very absentminded.
What might she be reading?
Cheers

In our part of the USA we don't see this style of dress. Sometimes short shorts on the beach, but I've never seen this shoe and stocking combination. ;D
The young fellow, on the other hand, looks like any typical US teenager.
Good catch, Gabriela. Did he know you took this?

Isn't it just a tad bit warm for long stockings? :) What a great capture Gabriela - love the B&W too.

On the contrary Gabriela only a youthful soul would enjoy her stocking and concentration lol, I love this brilliant photo...ps I can't read in a car or a bus or a train, of standing up...lol

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

That's a quite funny shot - and *very* indiscrete! But I can feel with that young lady, because traveling every day for the same route can get very boring and you might be happy about every bit of information that comes from a book / music player.
