I took the train to the city yesterday. I had to change trains at Jamaica station and you do that by climbing up a set of stairs, and then walking along an overhead ramp to the stairs down to the other tracks. This is what you see walking along the ramp. These are the roofs over the platforms below. I have seen this scene before but never really stopped to look carefully. But I had time so I stopped and shot this. What attracted me was what a strange looking landscape this is! It looks like some futuristic landscape in some world of the future I am not interested in living in! Be sure and click on this to see it larger.

What a cool surreal shot. Futuristic is exactly the right word to describe this gray monochromatic scene of steel and concrete. The only thing missing is a flying saucer hovering over the city. Brings back my memory of seeing the 1953 movie "War of the Worlds". I remember having nightmares after seeing it.
I thought of The Hunger Games as the futuristic city. Very strange but cool photo.
Thank you both for your wonderful comment. I am glad you think this is a strange scene!
