There's something about riding to work on a subway that drains the life from a person - at least, this person. It's not enough that getting up before the sun rises is somehow demoralizing (again, to this person), but, so too is joining the throngs of other commuters heading to the Red Line of the Metro Rail - notoriously slow, overcrowded, and filled with people who are happy to shove you aside so they can get in and out of the subway cars first. I got out at Union Station, one of those mornings, to glance back at the building and, bammo! Christopher Columbus bathed in the morning sunlight, flags flapping in the wind against the painted sky in the background.
Taken with an iPhone 5s, this is one of those images that has little to do with the photographer shooting. Any one of the drones coming out of the Metro that morning could have gotten this image. This drone/photographer was aware enough to get it.
