I've been riding the train since I started high school. Everyday when I travel I've never stopped and payed attention to the architecture of the station. The other day I was getting off the train one early evening and realized that the top of the station would light up and that it looked like a bird nest. The day I took this picture, the tower on top of the station was lit up a shade of indigo. The following morning, I realized that the surrounding walls of the underground station was filled with phrases along with bird figures. I wrote them down, thinking if it related to how the architecture of the station looked like. The words themselves don't make sense, but the way I interpret it is, I'm the bird walking into the sky inside of the station and staying in the nest waiting for the train to come and when I reach my destination area the only thing between me and the phrases are the people surrounding me. Also, I thought of relating the word Destination with the color Indigo. Here are the phrases, from top to bottom:
Waking Walking
Sky Inside
Eyes Fly High to Nest
Mind Awake Area
Words Birds Between Us

Oh how interesting! I love architectural lighting! With theater, it is always seen in a dark theater with the lighting looking the same no matter when we watch the show. With architecture, it can be lit one way during the day (with natural light for instance) and then lit completely differently at night! It makes us look at the same structure in very different ways depending on when we're strolling by! Neat!
