FIVE PICTURE FRIDAY! - Metro

Taken January 23, 2025

Deep under the Federal morass of the District of Columbia, tunnels and escalators and trains carry people throughout our nation’s capital. Built in a surprisingly short period - mostly in the 60’s and 70’s - the Metro subway lines are unique and not to be mistaken for any other city’s mass transit system. Brutalist architecture, massive concrete vaults, and soft, indirect light provide commuters and tourists with a haunting and impersonal backdrop to their journey.

About “Five Picture Friday”

Every other Friday, I produce a short photo-essay on an interesting location. I try to capture the essence of the place, distilled down into a few images. It’s a fun way to practice my photography, and I hope you enjoy a little armchair travel!
