I commuted on the DC metro for 3 years from Gaithersburg to Dupont Circle many moons ago. I always thought it was a great system….I hear they can’t keep those never ending escalators in service. No replacement parts!
I think it was taken around 8PM. After the rush hour and right after trains left from both platforms. I was about to go down and then saw that it was empty, pulled the camera out, jumped up ISO and shot it handheld.
I have never wondered about DC metro, because I didn’t know there was one, but now that I do, well, I love the image. Reminds me of one of our railway stations.
Works well…great HDR
Wow, awesome! 🙂
Nice structure!
Cathedral or alien spaceship?
spaceship, hands down
even better than I remember it!
Gives me an eerie feeling, the greenish curved walls, very science fiction-ish.
hehe, yep, worm holes on an alien spaceship.
I love the lines and the HDR processing. That’s the type of shot I would have liked to have captured when I visited DC a couple of summers ago 🙂

You make it look good!! 😉
It is not the pretiest metro system, but it is way better looking than what I have see in NYC. Yep, escalators are broken very often.
What time of day did you take the photo? Whenever I have taken the Metro it was packed with people…Thanks for rekindling memories. Jay

Wonderful work! I enjoy your work. Jay
What a fantastic POV… love it 🙂
Thanks. Worm holes!
Nice shot!!!
No mystery? The way this picture has been shot adds to the intrigue! Great work :).
Thanks. If you stair at it for a bit then it does start flashing in your eyes!
I love taking the metro. Beautiful picture.
I like it when it is not super crowded, otherwise it is not that much fun.
Wow! This should be your entry for the through challenge!
Another well composed eye-catching shot.
thanks!
Very nice perspective!
Very cool! You’ve got me really interested in working with HDR. I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award: http://athousandwordsinone.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/very-inspiring-blogger-award/

Very cool 🙂 I was just there yesterday!
I had forgotten what it looked like. It’s been years. What a gorgeous shot! Like the arches in a cathedral!
Superb symmetry and perspective.
Has a space ship feel 🙂
I agree, my first thought was retro space age movie set. Good atmospheric shot.
I really like this perspective. Not like I remember it…better
This photo made me smile. I live close to DC, so I’ve seen those curved Metro ceiling many times. This is a great pic of it.
I really like this! Makes me want to go to DC just so I can see this!
Great shot!
Brings back memories – sort of… I don’t remember it looking quite like this!
This actually made me go “whooaaaa, that’s cool” out loud.
Love the stark, emptiness of the shot….
after moving from london to dc i found this metro looked quite futuristic in comparison.
