Interesting urban details! They're always there... just waiting for someone to watch more intensely to find them. Very nice composition and lighting!

@hugo poon: Thank you for your nice words, Hugo! I really like to find urban details worth shooting!

Yes i agree -- the glow and the sheen from the tile and the soft overhead light here is really doing it for me! Of course the bright orange emergency phone is simply key! Fantastic shot mate! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks so much, DJ. I wasn't so sure if commenters here on the blog woud like the white of the light to merge with the frame. Looked better than a black frame, though!

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

Interesting capture, Mirko. I haven't seen the film, but (baseed on the advertising) my first thought was this would have been a good companion for Pixar's® 'Wall-e" character.

@Stephen Phillips: What a funny idea, Stephen. But you are probably right. Would love to see a movie featuring the emergency phone. What kind of character would it have? :-)

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Since I never know where to go on an underground, I'd be the first to grab for the phone. A fun and humorous image, Mirko.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks for commenting, Michael. Would be funny if you used the phone to call for directions as they are written on the wall behind... :-)

Marie Le Corre from Voiron, France

J'aime beaucoup, même si je ne sais pas expliquer pourquoi en langue anglaise.

@Marie Le Corre: Merci beaucoup. Je ne peux pas expliquer cette chose en Francais aussi ;-)

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

We so very often overlook the urban details that surround us ... that's one of the true blessings of photography - it gives us motivation to look a little deeper ... in this case (in the) underground. Terrific image.

@Ron: Thanks for your kind words, Ron!
