The theme for the weekly photo challenge this week is not just a photo of something in a city, as I first thought when I read the title. Urban photography, it turns out, is a whole branch of photography I wasn’t aware of, and it’s one I could see myself getting into. It’s described as “a complement to street photography”, and as I’m too much of a wuss for street photography, I’m more than happy to provide some of the context instead.
Hit By A
Not the cheeriest photo I’ve ever taken. This is Wood St station, London. People being hit by trains, or worse, deliberately walking into the path of one, are sadly a common occurance in a big city. What drives a person to step in front of a moving train? Nothing good.
Silken Photography 
Very atmospheric photograph. It really draws you in. I find stations can be so evocative of so many memories. I think it’s the association with journeys.
As you wrote this, I was halfway through a post which started out being all about wine tasting, but really ended up being all about train stations! I’m like you in that regard, there’s something about them that’s emotionally quite powerful.
Hmmm – wine and trains – now there’s a powerful emotional combination!!!
Great image and post! Love the darkness
Thank you! The atmosphere was certainly fitting.
