Until recently, the 47 mile long Dubai Metro was the world’s longest fully automated driverless metro transit network. (The driverless Vancouver Sky Train surpassed its length in 2016.) I made this image inside of the Emirates Towers Station, which was just next door to our Dubai hotel. I stood at the top of the escalator and waited for a person to enter the door of the station below. That small, silhouetted figure becomes the focal point of the image as it stands out against the highlighted entry, whle the swooping rails of the escalator lead the eye right to it. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the sweep of my 24mm wideangle lens, create a futuristic scene.
