The light at the end

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 20 April 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Whoever thought that a subway station could rival a cathedral for lighting?

High-res here.

Great catch!

@Craiger: Thanks, Craig! Just saw it that moment before the train arrived. Funny, I've been on that platform countless times and never noticed it before.

JS from United States

Every once in a while you do something really amazing.
(But I knew that a long time ago.)

@JS: Aw shucks, Jan! Really all I had to do was push the little button-thing on the camera.

SPunkt from -, Germany

Cool! Even more because of that cathedral comparison.

Always pays to look up! This is a great capture! Super!

21 Apr 2007 9:25am

@reflected concepts: Indeed! Sometimes it pays more to look down, though: that's where the money is. Thanks, sHadow!

Joe from Tokyo, Japan

21 Apr 2007 12:38pm

@Joe: Many thanks, Joe! It might look good in black and white, but I love these colours too much.

Bahar from Toronto, Canada

It reminds me of Louis Khan's "National Assembly Building", a very good eye to catch this shot.

@Bahar: Well, I've never been to Bangladesh, but from what I've seen on the web, there may be some architectural similarities. Actually, now that I think about it, Downsview station has provided me with some great photographic opportunities over the last few months. The only problem with Downsview is that once you arrive, there's nothing worth seeing outside the station. Thanks, Bahar!
