Thanks, Eric and SHP - and apologies to anyone who's ever been injured by a flying fish. Devilish creatures, they are.

Phil, I did it before I even read my cue ;)

I'm surprised this entrance isn't covered yet. I had thought they planned to cover them all to reduce escalator repair costs...

Stacey - guess I'm feeling inspired lately.
Scott - That would be great here at CapSouth, because the escalator is always being repaired.

very cool capture! the geometric lines are very interesting.

all the escalators in the London Tube have been covered for decades ... I'm glad D.C. is finally getting with the program ...

That definitely captures the "am I ever going to make it out of the metro" feeling. Great shot. :)
