Marienplatz U

A recent outing of our expat photogrpahy group produced another fifty pictures from the Munich U-Bahn. you have been warned! Mostly we were revisiting stations that have already featured here, but today's image is from a new station. Marienplatz is the city's central square; beneath it lies Marienplatz station where both U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains run. This striking entranceway is on the U-Bahn level.

I love the color and the curving light. Very nice shot.
I better bring lots of memory cards. I can't wait to see the famous Christmas markets and everything else. :)

Beautiful futuristic feel.

Thanks all - it's also quite unusual to have it so empty since this is one of the busiest stations.

Bring plenty James but don't worry about running out. There are plenty of shops selling memory in the city centre.

I wish someone could sell me a fresh memory card. Mine current one is sadly defective. But not so much that I can't find the words to say this is a terrific image. You invite us right into the color and curve of it.

Such a great image. Love the color and the composition. As you said it is a busy station, the empty halls make the image more interesting,

Thanks. The colours and shape of this hallway are a photographer's dream - it's hard to take a bad picture of this.
