Boxed-In Train Tracks Beneath Overhead Beams

In this evocative black and white photograph by Duncan Rawlinson, parallel train tracks stretch into the distance beneath a series of looming overhead beams, creating a powerful sense of confinement. The strong lines and shadow patterns give the image a boxed-in feeling, reflecting the urban density and structure of Toronto, Ontario. The stark industrial aesthetic, combined with the absence of motion on the tracks, heightens the mood of being trapped or restricted within the city’s infrastructure. This image captures the tension between movement and confinement in an urban environment.
