Waiting for the train

[mnhtnbb]

In Charleston this morning--at the Amtrak station--this gentleman (sporting some of the most amazing dreads I've seen) was
waiting on the platform for the train.




I debated whether to ask him if I could take his photo, but I didn't want him to say 'no', so I sneaked this one shot. I loved the long line of dreads down his back and the long line of the tracks, platform line, and roof overhanging the platform.

1. Wow, what an amazing shot!

I was going to ask you if all that dark matter was his hair. Wow!

Can you imagine washing it?



I too like the long lines in your photo! Very effective.

2. Yes, they blend in to the suitcase on the other side of him, but they end

about his knee level (middle of the pocket on his cargo pants).

3. Ah, thanks for explaining!

I hadn't spotted the suitcase until you mentioned it. Now I get it!

5. I keep thinking of the weight aspect of carrying that much hair. It's a commitment.

6. I wonder how much those dreads weigh.
