Westfriedhof U-Bahn Station, Munich, Germany
I couldn't resist in not uploading this view from another Munich Metro station after yesterdays upload.
This is Westfriedhof U-Bahn Station and is probably the most famous and well photographed U-Bahn station on the Munich U-Bahn network. The mixture of colours used here are simply awesome and they do transform what would be a rather dull and grey space into something pleasing to the eye.
One thing that the image really doesn't convey very well is how big the light shades are. They are massive in real life and do a great job in lighting the island platform, wouldn't it be awesome to have one of these in your house? Well I do away :-).
Munich U-Bahn was a lot easy to photograph than the London Underground I regularly visit. There are about 10 minutes between trains so it gave me plenty of time to compose the image and of course not have anyone in the image.
Revisiting these images makes me want to visit other Germany U-bahn networks, mainly Berlin!
Location Information
Westfriedhof is an U-Bahn station in Munich on the U1 line of the Munich U-Bahn system, it opened on 24 May 1998, the extension onwards to Georg-Brauchle-Ring was completed in 2003. 11 large lamps measuring 3.80 metres in diameter were installed in 2001 and bathe the station in blue, red and yellow light.
The station is also served by routes Munich tramway and Munich tramway of the Munich tramway, and is the terminus of the latter route.
