When the local government of the city of Wenling, China, decided to build a new motorway, they offered all residents occupying the land, relocation compensation. However, this elderly couple refused to move as they felt that the offer was too low to cover the cost of rebuilding. As a result, the motorway was built around their home and the house now stands right in the middle of the newly built motorway. Cars travelling on the road are forced to drive around the stranded building.
In his new photo series, “The Canadian: Ghost Train Crossing Canada”, Jeff Friesentravels across Canada taking photos of the surrounding landscape, in which he artfully places this vintage toy train to make it look like part of the picture.
