The Persistence of Time

I was on my way to DC one day in January. I decided to take an experimental picture inside this tunnel near Baltimore. Amazingly, it looks like a single frame of time.

    I really love this photo, just not for this theme because it says it should have people in it. The colors are sublime!

    Well, I think it's ok for this theme. Since I saw the descriptions says as long as it's something about moving or going, it's fine. But thanks for your comment

    Beautifully soft lines pulling me round the bend. I love the composition here the colour and the lines almost make the tunnel come alive like an alien landscape. Nice.
