This is the same subway station as yesterday in a pic taken a couple of weeks ago, pre Harry Potter - these long walls now have long posters for HP on them. This station, at Dundas and University, is named for near-by St Patrick's Catholic Church, and is 1 of only 2 stations in the whole system which has retained the tubular shape created by the tunnel-boring machine which originally dug the holes for the subway. It has a great atmosphere!

I like the tube shaped station landings. In this photo the station looks spotless. Is that the norm? I remember the subways of Mexico City were so clean and shiny. They felt very safe. the ones I have used in the U.S. are not always very clean.

I've always like this tube shaped station. Great perspective on this shot.
Super shot! Very well set up RedPat. I appreciate the background/history you included... I just learned something new here. Thanks and have a great day!
I like the tubular shape!
Very nice shot RedPat! I like to take the subway, run away from traffic, see people from different places... ;-)
Lovely perspective shot.
It looks so empty without Harry!
It looks a lot like a London underground station.
Very sleek. Maybe a bit monotonous without something to break the shiny metal walls, but still very sleek.
Very nice indeed!
Oh I like these kind of shots.
Excellent perspective Red, disappearing down a little hole at the end. Does look so pristine!
... and noise I bet.
I'm taking the subway today! But I don't think this is on my route. :(
