Train Ride, Canada

Photograph by Tatum Wulff , My Shot

A young Mennonite girl looks out the window of the Heritage Number 9 Waterloo Central Railway steam train as it reaches its destination at Waterloo station in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada . This candid photo was taken in October of 2012, but it feels timeless to me.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? I personally love documentary portraits of people, so I'm happy when I find one that will hold its own as a Photo of the Day. The subject, the setting, and the choice of black and white work together perfectly to create a timeless photograph, and the direct gaze of the young girl draws me in. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
