mid-month theme: subway day
Without signs giving us directions we'd be all lost in the subway. Communicating clearly to many people with different backgrounds, languages, references is a challenge. This was shot at T-Rådhuset underneath the Stockholm Court House. The blue dot symbolizes the "blue line" which is actually two distinct lines, both starting at the city centre and ending in, respectively, Akalla and Hjulsta.Be sure to visit our friends in New York and Paris. More subway photos on plenty.

Cool photo! I like the typography of the sign.
The typography is real nice, I agree. Our subway system isn't frightfully complex but we've got 100 stations so it'd take a while to visit them all. Incidentally, that reddish thing behind and above the sign is the roof over the platform. Solid rock which has been painted in the colour of the station.
Great shot of a sign!

I also like these rocky caves.
Missed the Subway Day... I was about to post some Budapest subway pix when I visited your blog and realized that there was a theme but I didn't have a photo for that... No problem, another time!
Rocky caves, indeed. Those were the words I was looking for... We'd love to see more of the Budapest subway, please make that a New Year's promise, Andrea! :)
Pat: It's a bit blurred but I do like the angle!
Sorry it's difficult to send post about subway from my village. All I can do is to send you greetings from a retired civil servant from the Parisian Metropolitain (you know the guys unknown as long as they are not on strike !).
Le poinçonneur des Lilas.
Oh Per, I don't make New Year's promises, but I will go around with my little camera and shoot in the Budapest subway :-)
Deslilas: A village subway, that would be something to post about! ;) Appreciate your greeting and your point about being unknown as long as everything works smoothly.
As a matter of fact I don't make New Year's promises either, Andrea. But do bring that camera!
Thanks all for commenting. Here
are more subway photos from other lenses.
If you look on my post, you will see that there is another blogger who would like to joint the "subway day"!
