[PHOTOS] Beauty Of Deserted Subway Stations In The Eyes Of Forsyth

After getting used to our surroundings, we become familiar with ​them to a point where we stop appreciating beauty or even noticing it.

 

Photographer Chris Forsyth wants people to appreciate the hidden beauty of transit systems. The 20-year-old spent two years taking photos of underground stations when empty, he photographed about 150 subway stations in “the Metro Project” series.

 

"Each city's underground has something unique to offer," says Forsyth.

 

"Montreal's metro system is a microcosm of 1960s Canadian architecture."

 

Meanwhile, "Stockholm's Tunnelbana is known as the world's longest art exhibit,"

 

"Many of its stations have kept their raw, cave-like form, and include larger-than-life hand-painted walls and ceilings," he added.

He is now asking people to share their own metro pictures on Instagram, using the hashtags #mtlmetroproject for Montreal and #themetroproject internationally. The two hashtags have attracted more than 2,000 posts so far. Pictured: Westfriedhof, Munich.
