North Elizabeth Train Station

On our recent trip to the East Coast, we stayed in New Jersey and took the New Jersey Transit train into Manhattan every day. Though I did miss the excitement and convenience of staying in the city, it made no sense to pay for hotel rooms for 5 people for 5 nights. Not when we could stay with family for nothing. The train we took was usually a double decker, also fun.

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to take a shadow portrait of my family while we were waiting for the train.

It would be an interesting break to use a train for that purpose, knowing that it was short-term.

hi!!
this is m18.
i came here from twitter.

i like this photo,
’cause the shadow that four people line up is cute and yellow line attracts me to this photo.

in japan this line is narrower.
