Don’t look back with regret. Digging through my 2008 archives, I found this quick shot from a speeding tram, on my way to Charles Bridge.
In an empty and decaying train station, just before the rain, visions of journeys past.
The bridge and colonnaded viaduct Pont de Bir-Hakeim, with a southbound 6 train.

The Cité station, in the center of Paris, isn’t the last stop on the Metro’s Line 4. But after one year of daily photo posts, this shot is the end of the line for my yearlong project. 365 posts ago, I set out to try something different.

At Eglington Station.
Nothing left to load.
