Relax

Billboard of a massage lounge chair shot through the windows
of a speeding commuter train.

Someone wrote and asked if this is a reflection off the windows,
so perhaps a little more explanation is needed.

This is the Hong Kong underground (subway) train.
I'm standing on the platform facing the tracks.
The billboards are on the opposite tunnel wall about 15 feet away.
As the train sped by, I simply held the camera steady and let the
flashing windows alternately reveal and obscure the picture.

As the writer said, we have very clean trains--
all stainless steel and no graffiti.
