This picture was taken on January 4, 2019, which was before the Covid-19 pandemic. It was around 7AM and I took this picture on my way to school. I didn’t really edit the picture because I want to highlight the beautiful view of the sky. I only changed the setting to vivid which made the picture a little brighter or more colorful. The purpose of this photo shows how much things have changed because of the pandemic. The picture was taken on the train, which was much safer before the pandemic. At the time, you actually felt safe on a subway and it was a place where you could listen to music and relax. Nowadays, many individuals view the subway system as unsafe, especially with the recent subway shooting incident. Looking at this picture, it might give the audience a sense of comfort because the world used to be a brighter and safer place.
I did not know how was the subway before the pandemic, but I totally agree with you once the sky get dark, we will feel unsafe on taking the subway when the pandemic happened. And also, when the train just open the door and stay there for a while, it feels weird too when the sky is dark.
I agree with you about feeling unsafe when taking the subway. There have been a lot of incidents that make subway rides feel unsafe, and I totally agree with you that train rides were somewhere you could listen to music and relax. That’s how I felt about taking the train too! But with the pandemic and the recent shooting, as well as other incidents, it doesn’t feel as safe and relaxing anymore.
