Whenever I'm shooting in the city, I try to look out for pops of color and the yellow from the L's tracks at this location provide just that. I also love the texture and the shadows in this shot. If you stare at them for too long, they can almost make you dizzy.

This image of the L train tracks, street and shadows was taken at the intersection crosswalk of S Wells St and W Arcade Pl, looking north. When you've been given the light as a pedestrian, walk to the middle of the street to get this perspective. By subway: - Closest station: Washington/Wells (Brown, Pink, Purple or Orange Line) - Head directly south
