Red signal, XB200, New York City Subway

Whoever designed this signal and decided on its placement probably didn’t intend XB200 to be a piece of public art … but I think it fills this function just fine. Spotted in the New York Subway back in 2011.

Sun where the sun normally don't shine

Champ-de-Mars métro station in Montreal was recently identified as one of most beautiful subway stations in the world. Surely, the wonderful panes of stained glass has something to do with it.

Here’s an unexpected photo capture. I was in the last car of a No. 7 subway train as it was leaving Main St. station in Flushing. I decided to try a long-exposure shot inside the tunnel when all of a sudden there was no more tunnel and we were in broad daylight. This is the result.
