Subway Photography by Nick Frank - 1

Below the streets of Munich, Germany, photographer Nick Frank silently stalks the city’s subway stations, waiting for the perfect silent moment. When the passengers have departed and the trains are rumbling elsewhere, Frank captures the empty stations in artful compositions. Some are balanced in perfect symmetry, others twist and disappear in the distance. All of Franks works show a strong contrast of color accents, where bright, basic colors stand out amongst the quiet, neutral darkness beyond. These are truly evocative images, a form of art that today’s urbanophile will certainly appreciate.

The two greatest criticisms of wind power farms are their construction costs and the visual drain they pose on otherwise natural environments. Suppose, however, there was a way to cut building costs by using existing infrastructure– and to add these eyesores to existing eyesores. A group of enterprising, eco-conscious thinkers have dreamed up a plan where existing electricity towers are used as wind power sources. The “Wind It” project by Nicola Delon, Julien Choppin, and Raphael Menard proposes a string of the tower-ported wind turbines to be placed in wind-sensitive areas, then feeding this freely-generated power directly back into the grid. While the project was conceived for France, the team insists that this technology could be employed in China, in the US and otherwise. We wouldn’t mind this tech powering our homes… would you?
