DescriptionUnstretched. Image of a wide view of the outside of a New York subway station. The image uses bright colors including bright green and yellow as the subway exit tunnels (right and left) and red in the surrounding buildings. Small figures and cars are seen below, and the central building (center) is on stilts and connected to both buildings. In the background, a faded view of a skyline and busy road below evoke a feeling of a cosmopolitan, urban city from the viewer's high vantage point.
