The Metro by pflaume

The Metro

I have wanted to get a shot of a moving train for some time now and finally had my chance in Washington D.C. My family could only shake their heads when every time we rode the subway, I took photos of all the comings and goings. I love the architecture of the D.C. Metro. In this shot, the train is casting an interesting shadow on the tunnel wall.

I'm almost caught up with vacation uploads. Thanks for your wonderful comments on them. I appreciate each and every one.
A fantastic train shot combined with architecture. The tones are terrific. Fav!

I like the curve of the tunnel combined with the rectangular blocks it's made up of, all leading off into the distance. Lovely composition, Lisa.
