\nMore Views of the Underground.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As a follow up to yesterday\u2019s post London Underground July 2013\u2014Part 1<\/a>, I\u2019ve assembled some of my favorite images from last week\u2019s exploration in London.<\/p>\n

The Underground cleverly blends transport and style. In my experience it is one of the world\u2019s most popular public transportation systems. Phrases like \u2018Mind the Gap\u2019 appear on mugs and T-shirts, while many shops sell stylized maps of the Underground network.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lesson here.<\/p>\n

\"Charing<\/a>

\"Tube<\/a>
The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square are among London’s largest tourist attractions. This poster describes Victorian interest in art and places photography in period context. Lumix LX3 photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"London<\/a>

\"Tube<\/a>
By placing the camera against the ceiling of the tube train, I secured an unusual angle, minimized vibration to allow for a long exposure, while momentarily attracting the interest of fellow passengers. Lumix LX3 photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Air<\/a>
Historic Underground signs recall the fear from sky-bourne warfare. Canon EOS 7D photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
