“The next
train due to depart
platform 3
goes to
Kepler-22b,
first stop – Gliese 581 g,
then all stations to Kepler-22b.”
*** And thanks to Jo Bryant for this award ***
When it comes to rules, I’m a bit like you, Jo, but I’ll join you for some pirate tea 😉

Nice shots! I really like your version of this challenge. : )
Thanks, Find Focus – it’s been interesting seeing the different interpretations from everyone on this challenge.
The first photo is really nice!
Thanks, Sony
Excellent use of line and perspective.
Thanks – appreciate your input
Bwhahahahaha – if only it was that easy – well, lucky it isn’t that easy or we would destroy this world even quicker than we are destroying it now (we’ll just move to Kepler-22b). I really think they could have come up with a better name for our sister planet. Photos are excellent as usual.
Hehe – thanks, Gabe. Yes, looking at the names NASA has given all the potential Goldilocks planets made my eyes glaze over – dull as.
Excellent shots, BeeBlu. Train Stations are good Waiting places. 😀
Thanks, Nancy. Yes, they are good spots for observing human behaviour. Some very weird creatures out there!!
Stunning depth of field, you clever thing 🙂
That’s a compliment and a half!! Thanks, Cin. I think the architecture of the station is quite something and naturally draws the eye along these lines.

I love that first pic.
Thanks, Tilly. Train station, airports, ferry ports always suggest the beginnings of some sort of adventure – the possibilities are endless (although not always what we might expect!)
How precisely the destinations are numbered, BB.

That’s NASA for you, John. As Gabrielle commented, they don’t apply much imagination in the naming of these exoplanets. The departure announcement is mimetic of the station announcements here in Sydney.
These are all good but I love number 2. I have an award for you here: http://jobryantnz.wordpress.com/2011/12/09/thank-you/
Thanks, Jo.
Thanks for this award – Square Pegs, unite!
Wonderful, Bb. Brilliant idea! I love all the pics.
Thanks, Adee – had to dig deep this week. Inspiration was a bit thin.
Brilliant. Just brilliant. That tunnel could lead anywhere, and even space travellers need somewhere to sit down and park their space luggage.
Reminds me of the beginning of Westworld.
Thanks, Kate. Yes, with 600 light years to go, the space travellers definitely need somewhere to sit down, haha.
Had to look up Westworld (was never much into the fantasy or sci-fi genres until this year) I see the original was released in 1973 and starred Yul Brunner and according to Wiki a remake is on the cards.
The one with Yul Brunner is fantastic – very chilling!
He had presence, didn’t he? I’ll have to watch it, although it seems more like a horror tale than straight fantasy and horror is really not my thing
Great shot for the challenge waiting my friend 🙂
Thanks, Jake.
Your take on the ‘Celebration’ theme got me thinking…
waiting for the station to fill up?
train stations are wonderful places.
isolated at times, brimming full at others
if the walls, the ceiling, the benches – could talk,
we can hear quite a variety of stories 🙂
Absolutely, Amira – they would certainly have some stories to tell. Welcome to my blog 😀
I like the perspective on these
From the station entrance down through to the tunnels, the architecture is all curves shot through with parallel lines – I love it
Oh, what fun – I can’t wait to get on that train. Also, this is the cleanest station I have ever seen. It must be located in inter-planetary space, where there’s no dirt.
I’ll meet you at the station, Monica. I’m sure we can find 600 light years of chat to pass the time 😀
Yes, not too much space-junk cluttering the stations here 🙂
Bluebee, I’d love to meet you for any adventure! (P.S. – My earlier reply seems to be lost in some alternate reality.)
We’ll have to take a trip in search of it, then 🙂
If the in person experience were as gorgeous as these photos, the waiting couldn’t be so bad! 🙂
It’s also so quiet down there, Elaine, but one always needs to be on guard for the weirdos 😉 There’s always at least one, haha
