Not your usual scenic spot... This "Market on the Railway" is located in Samut Songkhram, not far from Bangkok. The main market lies next to the tracks, but for those who could not afford the rent, they decided to lay their wares and produce just off the tracks. The train passes through several times a day; in between, shoppers walk along the tracks and take their time to choose and haggle as usual. Just minutes before each train arrival, the stall owners make well-rehearsed adjustments to get their goods out of harm's way and restore everything as soon as the choo-choo passes.

this has been my favorite photo of yours since i first saw it. really, really amazing and should be published.
That's an unusual and unique perspective. You captured it honestly and beautifully.
WOW, this is a most dangerous way of doing business. I feel for the poor merchants. I dare say, there have no doubt been many accidents.
A marvelous shot though, at the reality of life. Thank you, Serline. You capture the moments of rawness with silent beauty.
Amazing shot, I agree with the other commenters. That does sound like a scary way to make a living.
Oh my!!! I love this!!
beautifully processed image. I love a black and white where the shadows speak!
Wow! This is one of my favorites! I also love the story that goes with it.
Makes me want to go down on my knees and thank my lucky stars:
That closeness, the noise and the food on the ground, that approaching train: my idea of an absolute nightmare. Thank you for making us see how fortunate we are to be able to go to the indoor foodmart.
I just love that photo! Great choice.
