TA lot of people from nearby mountains called Beskydy, travel every day to Ostrava to work there. The people shown here go by train for the night shift. The blonde woman was saying to me without words: I'd rather go with you, I really mean it. Why don't you take me with you tonight. I also did not say a word but kept photographing her.
