About 51 years ago I took this picture at the Alexandra Palace.

Anyone else think he looks like Andy Murray?

As far as I can recall this is the only picture I have taken from below ground-level.  Must have had a similar theme in January 2020 as that's when it was put on Flickr.  Taken in 2011.

Antwerp mainline station.  The lines come in on (I think 3) levels,  the lower (2?) being below ground.

Somewhere I have loads of photos of the Moscow underground, the decor of which is fantastic. Sadly they were all taken with film & haven't been digitised so no chance of sharing them here. Of the shots I have available, I think this one from the Colchester zoo was taken from below the ground (though the side of the Penguin tank)

Andy wouldn't be seen dead in that football shirt though.

Yes. And I am fairly sure he's a Hibs fan.

That's not like you, allowing jumped up officials to tell you what you can and can't do.
