It's February 15, which means we are having another mid-month subway day. This photo was taken awhile ago and it shows the #7 train (above ground subway) from Flushing, Queens approaching the 40th Street Stataion enroute to Times Square, Manhattan.Subway day is a mid-month theme shared by the following blogs:

Now this is one cool shot. Such a down-to-earth perspective. Happy subway day (above ground)!
I've been taking a lot of shots with my mini tripod at this low level, yours is outstanding I must say. The level of depth the photo carries makes this one a gem. Well done.

The perspective is interesting and the guy across the tracks must be interested in what you were doing.
Yes, the perspective is really amazing! A late night train? Not too crowded! Nice contribution to our common game!
Ming, I like the ground level perspective very much, especially the texture of the yellow skid bumps. I bought a tripod that allows reconfiguration so I can get it down at this level, but haven't tried it yeat. Your train is approaching and Stockholm's train was leaving. Fun theme for you guys!

what a great angle! I like the composition:)
Love the dimension to this shot - the angle and the perceived motion. :)
Ah, my old home station! Interesting to see that they still have Lowery Street on to sign even though the city changed the north-south streets in Sunnyside from names to numbers - what? - 60 or 75 years ago.
Were you sitting on the floor when you shot this? Did the Transit Authority Police note your activity?
j'aime bien l'angle que tu as choisi, bravo. bon weekend
I like the angle you chose, bravo. Good weekend
i have not seen train stations like this for a long time.
did you leave your camera on the floor or on a tripod?
I placed the camera on the floor to stabilize it and used the slow exposure (night mode) photography to take this photo.
....you deserve praise for this one , MIng. Very nice.
Great picture! I love the lights of the oncomming train and the yellow strip of paint :)
love the perspective of this shot
Hooray for the above-ground train in Queens!
What a great image. Laughing at Abraham's comment about the fellow across the tracks looking at you. Were you lying down?

oldmanlincoln: People tend to look at you quite shamelessly when you crawl around on the ground at subway stations.
Ming: As always, a good one!
Great perspective you captured there. I've never been to that station, but I did take the #7 one time.
Cool shot. You've chosen a great perspective.
