“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”— Diane Arbus

Do you fancy secrets, wondering about people? Do you love watching people passing by and just being a child in a beautiful artistic environment?

As I love the London underground “Tube” system, anytime I am in London either on assignment or just for pleasure, I spend a lot of time there. I enjoy getting lost in the City’s underground world and just marvel at the many artwork and installations there.

One of my favorite areas is the colorfully lit 🌈 tunnel linking Kings Cross station to the shopping area in One Pancras Square. This pedestrian tunnel is a couple of years old (June 2014), but ever is a psychedelic wonder and one easily gets back to being a child and being mesmerized by the ever changing colors.

The “art walls” are lit by LED panels and about 270 feet long. The secret of seamless lighting with no shadow lines is that the lights have been manufactured and installed behind a jointed glass wall.

The tunnel has a gentle curve where one can wonder while looking at the panels and the flooring with long triangles in it. The experience is very calming and relaxing.

This place has also been used for some cool events like the Artificial Intelligence festival, as a catwalk during London Fashion Week and a yoga workshop.
