This photo was taken in Rogers, MN. The train that runs through that area usually delivers stacks of lumber making it a place where a lot of teenagers hang out. Before taking the picture, I found a leather jacket and the beret (as seen in the picture) and I thought that these would help make an interesting character so it looks like this girl just usually wanders around places like that to just stop and think about life.
