It's funny, though - the BART is so damn bright, big, and clean, that this lacks the sort of urban grittiness I expect in this kind of photo. :-) One of the things that is so nice about this is that it needs no explanation what-so-ever - I don't need to know where it was taken, when it was taken, where the train was coming from; everything I need to know, or need to think about, is right there in the image.
