All Aboard! by taffy

All Aboard!

Buena Vista Social Club played at Symphony Hall tonite and we caught the L into the city. Taking my camera along, I shot this as we waited for the train on the other side of the platform. A followup to yesterday's shot in my extras album -- standing at yesterday's spot and looking east, this is the platform you'd see. What I liked in this shot was the combination of shiny car, reflection, and grittiness, with that lone guy at the front of the train.
Danbo posted in my alternate album -- such a pest -- wouldn't stop asking to do it until I finally gave in: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-09-29

Don't forget to vote for Get Pushed 61! Midnight tomorrow (Chicago time) is the deadline.

Sorry for the late challenge. I am very impressed with your album - particularly your black and white transport/ bridge shots recently and you also had some lovely sunsets over the summer, so my challenge for you this week is a city skyline at sunset.

Did you take a shot like this before- I don't know why but it looks so familiar. Doesn't matter if it is or isn't because it's classic. Great shot.
