Swans hold a place of reverence in many cultures. Purity, strength, faithfulness... I guess they were meant to liven up this tunnel, and indeed they did somehow lessen the gloom of the place.
I'm woefully behind in my commenting as seems to happen frequently these days, thank you for visiting anyway. Peace, all!
Swans are an interesting subject matter. Art can certainly brighten our journey and give us pause for thought. Like the person in the photo, reflection in the glass behind.
So much to notice here - the swans, the curvy graffiti, the pedestrian taking her own sweet time as of she were strolling through a museum, the reflection of her in the picture, etc... Really intriguing capture of a quiet moment in a place that must often be quite loud.
How to turn a subway tunnel into an Art Gallery- place lovely artwork on its wall, use lighting creatively, place a stylish pedestrian in the midst of it gazing at the artwork and allow some graffiti on the walls for just the right touch of reality/grunge to add interest to otherwise grimy walls. fav!
Something draws me right into the photo ...
A FAV!
Fantastic photo! feel the atmosphere!
