Underground Station Josephsburg

Day 64 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

For this photo, I spend another day in Munich’s underground. This time I visited the underground station Josephsburg and is located in the Munich district Berg am Laim.

At both platform ends, there are counter halls that bring daylight into the column-less platform.

Furthermore, the station is illuminated by two light bands with green, blue and yellow glass plates across. The rear track walls are in red.

The ceiling is made of concrete, from which hangs a pyramid-shaped metal band that slopes downwards and also serves as a light reflector. The floor is covered with light grey and black granite slabs, which are laid out like a chessboard.

For this photo, I chose a low camera position and centred the guiding lines of the walls and the platform in the middle of the shot.

As a lens I again used my Nikon 14-24mm f2.8, which is ideal for architectural photos because of its low chromatic distortion as well as sharpness.
