Rush Hour by andycoleborn

Rush Hour

Everyone's in a rush to escape work and reach home... apart from the couple in the red jackets and the underground worker leaning against the glass barrier checking his mobile.

After work I headed to Canary Wharf to look for something to take, as it was raining, I remembered Rich's shot shot http://365project.org/rg37/365/2010-10-18 and thought I'd stay in the dry inside the station and snap commuters on their way home. This was taken from one of the upper levels looking down on the concourse.

First cold day of the autumn today... Brrrr.... and going to get colder tomorrow. But when you think it was -10 and below back in February, today's +10 is positively balmy...
Oh I like the juxtaposition! Nice perspective as well. Good one, Andy.

Excellent shot. Clever of you to get the two in red not to move, and no challenge to get the railways worker not to move I guess!
October 19th, 2010

October 19th, 2010

Really awesome shot and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it in the top 5 this week. Love your comment about the weather...perspective is everything
October 19th, 2010  
Awesome shot! It fits the theme well and it's very interesting.
October 19th, 2010  
so cool!
October 20th, 2010  
Nice job on this--I like the perspective and the motion
October 20th, 2010  
I love how those people who aren't moving are also wearing red. You couldn't have art directed that better.
I'm just about to give up on football--between my ankle injury keeping me on the bench, and Liverpool's dismal start, it's all too depressing! Maybe I should become a Pompey fan.
October 20th, 2010  
Great picture! Wow!
October 20th, 2010  
@karice I blame those damn yanks for all Liverpool's troubles :-)
October 20th, 2010

October 20th, 2010  
What a great shot - everybody is in a hurry.
October 20th, 2010  
Love the combination of movement and stillness and the fact that it looks like everyone is going the opposite direction to the way out sign.
October 20th, 2010  
If you wear a red coat you are an automatic slow mover! It appears black coats are the fastest. Great shot. Made it a Fav...
October 20th, 2010
