Driving the underground


Yes "Driving the underground". In fact I was sit at driver's place... This because the Torino underground (actually: one line) is without any driver so there's some place on the top of the train :-) --- Thanks to Ming from New York DP that showing Washington underground recalled me to this photo I took some time ago.

Sì, "Guidando la metropolitana". Ero infatti seduto al posto del guidatore... Questo perché la metropolitana di Torino (al momento con una sola lina) è senza guidatore sicché v'è qualche posto in testa al treno :-) Grazie a Ming di New York DP che mostrando ieri la metropolitana di Washington, mi ha portato a questa fotografia che presi qualche tempo fa.

  5. I agree with the above! Great photo of the "tube". My father used to drive the "subway" in Toronto many years ago.

  8. At first I thought you meant that you took this while you were driving! It immediately made me think of driving through the st. Gothard's tunnel, which I found a little scary.

    I like this picture because the vanishing point is off center. One color dominates but that streak of yellow near the center gets my eye. It imparts more energy.
