I love the little trend of setting up those tiny railroad set figures to look like they are interacting with the real world and then taking photos of them. I always dreamed of encountering mini people in my house after reading books like The Borrowers, and these photos evoke that sense of longing for something magical. I found 6 quality galleries from photographers on Flickr that have done this and am listing them here. Click the photos to go to that specific photo’s page, or click the link below them to see more by that particular photographer.

From the set, Small World by Sim.

From photos tagged, Miniature By Erin-T.

From the set, The 365 Toy Project by llama/PJ. (Not a lot of this
style of photos in her set, but I just couldn’t resist posting this picture)

From the set, Groovy People by Escapista.

From the set, My Lilliput by Shotbart.

From the set, Toys by Diastema.
