Description
This shot was made looking up the down staircase at the Adams and Wabash station on the Ravenswood/Brown Line train in downtown Chicago.
This picture was taken on April 3, 2010 while I was waiting for Chip to arrive from the South side.
Thanks to everyone who is kind enough to look and comment on my gallery.

This is one of those shots that looks quite cinematic...more from the mood of it and the angles. Nothing is head-on, straightforward, everything is at an angle, either from your low-angle POV or from just being taller (like that building in the back) or just kinda CTA-weird like the other stairs you can see hints of heading up. I like that, it reminds me of the kind of stuff I used to watch, back when I actually watched stuff on tv, especially if it involved really gritty urban-ness and cool characters and actual plots you had to pay attention to. Really nice work, and I like the way the human figure is so much a part of the environment...the person looks as gray and downtown-colored as the rest of this bit of downtown. Very nice, and incredibly well seen.

Nice POV! This is exactly what the Boston’s "T" station stairs look like except ours are completely covered in rust. "T" is short for MBTA – Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Dana

Up and down and all over the place--great shot, full of that gritty, urban feel you do so well. Geez, I just read Chip's comment, guess I stole his words!!

That low, low angle really makes this shot. I feel like the whole thing is about to fall over on me, at the same time it's receding. What a cool picture!

Wonderful POV and depth. I like the mirroring of the shape of the stairs in the shape of the ceiling. It looks like a henge that could be closed up for the night, hopefully after all pedestrians are gone. Wonderful lines and textures. Excellent capture!

Absolutely fantastic POV - despite the fact it actually makes my tum lurch - which I suppose goes to prove what a fabulous shot this is! ^=^
