Photo taken on the platform of a New York subway station, at an angled perspective looking onto the tracks which recede to a disappearing point near right frame. To the right of the tracks is the yellow caution strip of the tiled platform. This is echoed by the lighting on the platform on the far side (where some commuters mingle), which can be seen through the supporting columns between the near and far sets of tracks. Sunlight streams through the ventilation grates above and illuminates the near tracks (as well as highlights the station’s grubbiness and disrepair). Apart from the sunlight and the yellow station lighting, the rest of the image is in shadow.
