Tunnel people

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 14 April 2012 in Architecture and Portfolio.

A couple walking back from work in the Tyne Pedestrian tunnel at Jarrow.
I honestly don't know where this door leads to.

very nice perspective and nice light.

14 Apr 2012 8:14am

Veronique from France, Switzerland

this tunnel series is impressive and very well done. I would never go there at night - kind of "cut-throat" trap

14 Apr 2012 8:20am

Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom

Wow this is the best yet, it has a superb feel to it with that long exposure and your processing

14 Apr 2012 8:28am

mo.langel from Courtelary, Switzerland

Great shot! Excellent perspective, lighting and tones!

14 Apr 2012 9:02am

ursulakatariina from Leixlip, Ireland

Cool, I was beginning to think you are the only one who goes into these tunnels...
I think there are monsters living behind that door.

Jules from Drayton, United Kingdom

This is a cracking shot - love the movement of the pedestrians. I am so intrigued by the door and where it leads to - common sense might say it links the two tunnels together but I'm going to go with a portal to another "space time continuum".

Olivier Paillet from toulouse, France

Beautiful !!! Well done !

14 Apr 2012 10:19am

Eric C. from Ivry sur Seine, France

Great one !!

14 Apr 2012 11:04am

Florence from Paris, France

Your process truly adds something different here... a bit post apocalyptic, when survivors, hidden in tunnels, try to find some hope...
That's significantly... cinetic. :-)

14 Apr 2012 11:19am

Punit from Pune, India

Awesome composition here - and wonderful tones as well. Tunnels are always a great place to make pictures - that mysterious light, the lines of the tunnels running through. Love it!

14 Apr 2012 11:24am

CElliottUK from Reading, United Kingdom

There's an urban myth that won't go away that there is a "hidden" underground station to be used in times of war that goes from the Houses of Parliament to....no one knows, maybe it pops out here!

14 Apr 2012 4:38pm
