Since we don’t have a schedule of Grid Shots themes to go on, I looked at the latest photos people have added to our Flickr group. This one caught my eye and prompted today’s topic: people on the platform.

Photo by Mike Travis, who captioned the photo with, “Don’t look at me, Kid. The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is right in front of you!”

“Late late night at the California Blue Line station” by Mike Travis.

Next week’s theme is “features and amenities”. Find things in our transportation that make traveling a little easier, more clever, or just different (but hopefully not bad, as a feature should be a good thing).
