Under the Tracks by taffy

Under the Tracks

The "L" (Elevated) is a major part of Chicago's public transportation. It's always visually interesting walking beneath the L, but the sound is deafening when one (or two) go by overhead.
Wonderful picture. I really like the light too.

Nice leading lines

I can remember taking the "L" in the Bronx as a young girl when we'd go to visit my grandparents. My grandfather would take me to the zoo or botanical gardens while the rest of the adults played poker on a Sunday afternoon. Fond memories of those noisy trains and sure don't have visuals of it being this pretty there!

Great pov! Are you standing in the middle of the street?
December 24th, 2020  
Amazing capture and pov.

I really like this - the tones, lighting, lines, and the one-headlight-out car coming straight at you/us!

@redy4et I waited for the light to change and traffic clear and then did a quick stop to photograph with my iPhone.

Great leading line, I also like that that car only has one headlight

Great gritty shot!

I know where you were! Doing the "Michael Elliott" street crossing. I like the structure's solidity and a bit of panic in feeling the car move toward you straight on. (But the car has one headlight out)

Great steel textures!

I can imagine the noise. Lovely capture.
December 24th, 2020  
Looks like that could be a dangerous shot to get--nicely done!

Love It! A nice gritty under the bridge scene has to be a fav from me!
December 24th, 2020  
Super shot, hope you were wearing earplugs.
December 24th, 2020  
Love this leading line
December 24th, 2020  
I love your POV!
December 24th, 2020  
I can just imagine how loud it is! Sometimes the places are so familiar from the years I watched the TV series ER and this is just one such scene.
December 24th, 2020  
A super pov and capture !
December 24th, 2020  
Love the repetition and composition.

I have visions of a lorry coming up behind you!! Hope that care swerved in hood time

Merry Christmas to you from us

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hehe!! It's a one-way street so I was safe from behind. And the light was red. I try to be 100% safe when doing something like this!
Thanks for your visit, as always!

Great shot (and of course well-timed to miss the traffic!). It's a nice depiction of the hustle and bustle of the streets and trains.
December 24th, 2020  
fab lines and structure :)
