Photo Hunt - Daily

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is daily. This is the concourse at Liverpool Street station a place I traverse twice each workday

It doesn't look particularly busy - is that rush hour?

Annie said...

The only time I see a station like that is when I'm on vacation. Not a daily sight for me, for sure. Very cool pic.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks all. nursemyra the reason it is not so busy is that I tend to go to wrk late and leave the office late, That allows me to muiss the rush hour - a positive benefit since I still find it hard to walk sometimes a year after snapping a quadriceps tendon

Wow! I can imagine how packed it would be daily. :)

You live in Liverpool? That's where my Irish in-laws lived. It's right across Dublin, isn't it?

Great shot. And have to say that I really love London's great railway stations. :)

Frank Partisan said...

Really great work.

jmb said...

Not something I miss these days, the daily commute or the daily grind for that matter. Anyway I basically ignored the theme.

Happy weekend to you Jams

Very artistic daily shot! There is motion in the picture though it is rather quiet. Good that you can travel out of rush hours!

julie said...

Wow, I love the way how the photos seems alive! :)

EG CameraGirl said...

I can see the motion in this photo. Good one, Jams!

A. @ A Changing Life said...

Not so many people there, I can see, but nevertheless, you convey the "busy-ness" very well!

Andree said...

What an awesome photo. I would take it conventionally, lacking the courage to try anything new. Now I have the courage!

Marta said...

That is a very cool photo. I love the way you composed it. It makes daily commute look less like a chore.

Unknown said...

That's a wonderful shot, Jams. Lots of depth and interest.

susan said...

That's a great picture and it looks just like I remember it - from donkey's years ago.

girasoli said...

Very cool photo! Love your take on the theme this week.

If I had still been living in Stockholm where I took the underground to get to a daily workplace I might have used that to solve this challenge. But by a quirk of fate, I stay at home every day and usually walk to get anywhere in my present location.
I don't miss having to travel on public transportation every single workday. I am glad to not have to do it for a time. Maybe I will return to that kind of livestyle again some day. But in that case I hope it will be a well-paid job that is worth the effort.
Very good photo and take on this theme.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday. (I am so late with this!)
