Underground

Canary Wharf Underground, England
Canary Wharf Station
by Adelheid Smitt

Something very different this time. I like modern architecture, especially when it comes to symmetry and geometric lines. This is one of the exits of the Canary Wharf underground station. Most people seem to prefer photographing the other one, but I liked this one as it has more escalators. It is one of London's busiest stations, but not so on Easter Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately tripods are not allowed here, so this needs to be done with a steady hand and higher ISO. But I personally like the result and posting something different to my usual images.

I had to leave the countryside to go to the 'Smoke' - so of course the camera came too.

I made some research for metro stations in Brussels and I found some visually interesting places. Went last weekend with my best friend. We hopped from station to station, grabbed some shots and ended with a good meal in a Greek restaurant. This is Pannenhuis metro station, located in Laeken.

A busy scene at Embankment with fast moving trains, anyone who's been a veteran of the Tube will remember the old announcement 'MIND THE GAP', anyone who hasn't, just imagine a stern English voice saying the above...... Legendary on the Tube network.

by Henk Verheyen

Cité station lies underneath the Île de la Cité, one of two islands on the Seine within the historical boundaries of Paris. In relation to the rest of the city, it lies within the 4th arrondissement, near Kilometre Zero, the official geographical and historical centre of Paris. The only station on the Île de la Cité, it lies near many famous landmarks, the most famous being the Cathedral of Notre Dame. To the west are the Sainte-Chapelle chapel and the Palace of Justice, while Notre Dame and the Hôtel-Dieu are to the east.

The station was opened on 10 December 1910 on the section of the line under the Seine between Châtelet and Raspail. This section of the line had actually opened on 9 January 1910 but trains passed through the station without stopping until the December of that year.

Tunnels were later built linking the station to the nearby Prefecture of Police of Paris and the Palais de Justice. However, for security reasons, these tunnels have now been closed for more than thirty years.

Going up
Canary Wharf Station
by Pete Rowbottom

Canary Wharf, one of the largest business places in the world, banking, million pound / dollar transactions, high fliers, and all I'm interested in is images of the architechture.... I think I know what side of the fence I'd rather be on.. anyway, a second attempt at this location, after my wide angle failed last time with a loose mounting plate screw (how???) I didn't spot until later in the day causing autofocus failure and light leaks, once the issue was found it was sorted with a simple matter of an opticians screwdriver (which now stays in my camera bag permanently), So, a different day and a functioning lens...needed to return to get what I'd wanted in the first place, Canary Wharf is a funny old place, not somewhere I'd usually rate as a destination but I do like it for shooting and I've a bit of a London thing going on at the moment, amidst the seemingly never ending concrete constructions of London there is still beauty to be found, challenging lighting issues and the incessant passengers make it all the more fun to try and grab something here, handheld, no tripod, no HDR. Can concrete be beautiful...? Interspersed with a bit of shiny metal.... Maybe.

Canary Wharf Tube Station
Canary Wharf Station
by Clive Griffiths

It's not every day you see a set of escalators or a tube station entrance quite as eye-catching as Canary Wharf. When it is 2.30am on a Saturday morning, it becomes even more so, as there are no people about to distract you from the extraordinary architecture. Just as with New Street station, I couldn't resist B&W treatment with a dash of selective colour - as inspired by fellow Flickrite Mark Waidson.

Most modern Underground station in the new financial district of London Canary Wharf. Feels like being in a science fiction film.
