The story

I was travelling around a few days with my daughter [15 years young]. We were driving and sleeping in our van. Just wanted to show her the beauty of ordinary things... One morning we visited an abandoned station, and we both were taking pictures of rust, dirt and broken windows. Then this couple wandered into our view. We found the beauty of ordinary things!

Caroline, you need to explain us the context of this shot ! ;-) Never had the opportunity to observe this behavior in a railway station (even if I spend my life in trains...!!!)
Udo Michelbrink said (29 Jan 2010):

More than ingenious!!!!!
MaYa Sinji Jung 정신지 gave props (29 Jan 2010):
you know that I feel jealous of you!!! what a lovely ordinary day with those ordinary (not has to be extra-ordinary) couple! I am not gonna say you are lucky, but maybe you and your daughter are an angle-like peoples who could have this kind of chance even once in their life!?!?!?!?

Excellent!
Leanna Lomanski gave props (29 Jan 2010):
Talk about being in the right place at the right time..........aren't you glad you had a camera in your hands?!
Llorenç Rosanes (Deleted) said (29 Jan 2010):
I am not going to deny that it's a marvelous photo, the whole entire girl (wow) and the opportunity that you had (perfect). But do I wonder if what is seen in the background is a person loading an enormous box? Completely foreign to the nakedness of the girl?
Michael Risenhoover (Deleted) gave props (29 Jan 2010):
I believe this image is destined to be a classic, well done!
David McKenzie gave props (29 Jan 2010):
Fantastic!
Caroline Penris said (29 Jan 2010):
Dear Llorenç, what you see in the background is a non movable object [something with electricity]. Now you pointed at that thing I see a person loading an enormous box... haha, even that person is not in a hurry. But seriously, I understand your problem with it.
Llorenç Rosanes (Deleted) said (29 Jan 2010):
No no no, it is not any problem for me, simply I was hallucinating because I would not give the back to so many beauty that walks towards me...
Alan Marquardt gave props (29 Jan 2010):
Lucky on the time and space you were there and had a camera in hand.
Debby Adler said (29 Jan 2010):
I love that he has her dress strewn over his shoulder.
peggy gardner gave props (29 Jan 2010):
yeah that electrical box looks like it's running off somewhere....I don't get how anyone could just casually walk naked like that...in this country? no.
David Baker gave props (29 Jan 2010):

james griph gave props (3 Mar 2010):
first. congrats for the fine capture. Second: I have to disagree with you and with many of the fellow members. There's nothing ordinary about her. she has a gorgeous ass. To me is more about the beauty of a great booty.
Richard Waters gave props (7 Mar 2010):
Great capture of the personal moment of true freedom. Beauty is in the capture. Did they know, did you interact with them just curious.

Excellent! This got me saying "What??"
Norm Levin gave props (19 Jan 2011):
What makes this even more eye-grabbing is that she's casually holding her hand on her head, and he is apparently carrying her undergarments on his shoulder. Did you get any others in a sequence?
jeff case (Deleted) said (25 Feb 2011):
