Five on the 5th




So it's the 5th of March and time for another edition of Five on the 5th.  Blogger Stephen Chapman who writes the blog The State of the Nation UK organizes a monthly photofest of sorts.  It's called "Five on the 5th" and it is five random photographs taken from your life on or in the days leading up to the fifth of each month.  This month's optional theme is "New."
 
I struggled quite a bit with the optional theme this month.  I thought about heading in the opposite direction and photographing a number of old things, some of which I did include below.  But really all the pics are of things I've run into in the days running up to today.
 
I should note that after almost a year of living in London, I'm moving back to Texas in less than 48 hours.  At the end of the day, London and I tried each other on for size but we just don't fit.  I'm ready to be back in Texas.

Really like the third and fourth - is the third one Waterloo station?

Nice pics, Pookie. I really liked the train station.

The third and fourth ones are the best, but I love the shadow/light contrasts on all the photos. They are really nice compositions.

Thanks everyone. The train station is actually York Station.

Even though I'm no particular fan of neither tags or graffiti I love that escalator pic. Well spotted!

Beautiful pics. I liked them all but the one with the curved rail track and ceiling skylight was really cool!

Been meaning to say... the station image is great! Shows how a station can be depressing and interesting at the same time.
