Very cool shot. I won’t ask how you got down on the tracks.
Looks like the internets to me.
Cold..
Really good idea…Dropped by the strap and then timer set?
No, I just leaned down a little and held it in my hand as I took the shot, having it pressed against the side of the tracks for steadiness.
Nice shot. Wouldn’t recommend anyone trying it though! Apart from the risk of being hit by a train, those rails carry 630 volts.
Mind the zap.
Drew: ah, yeah I was wondering about that as I took the shot.
“Hmmm, how dangerous would it be to set foot in there and take a much riskier shot? Hmmmm, probably shouldn’t try. Probably very dangerous…”
Good thing I didn’t, then ;-)
Oh boy.. Yes, very good thing you didn’t. Don’t you remember science class!! ;) Though I almost did the same exact thing back in NYC.
I remember, which is why I didn’t ;)
Groovy, always like to see the underground from a different perspective! What tube station did you take this at?
This is Gloucester Road, Picadilly Line to Heathrow.
great shot
