Street Photography in carriages
Travelogue of images from the Yangon Circle Line (Myanmar’s answer to the London Circle Line) and the epic Mandalay to Hsipaw railway in Shan State. These trains are a microcosm of Burmese street scenes, crammed into small wooden carriages. Mobile market stalls, vendors, Buddhist monks, and nuns are packed with regular daily commuters and long-distance travellers in these “mobile street scenes”.
