Hopefully andertho wasn't driving when he grabbed this shot inside the tunnel on I-395. The great perspective draws your eye in to the dark corner where those cars are about turn out of sight and away from the peculiar orange glow of the passageway. EXIF

I've always loved driving into that tunnel, particularly when it's raining. Tunnel designers normally have yellow lights for the first section before it turns to white. I suppose it's easier to adjust your eyes to yellow light. This creates a very surreal effect, and if it's raining, the droplets enhance the effect. It always gives me flashbacks to movies like Bladerunner.
Which reminds me, don't forget to pre-order your 5-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition of Bladerunner. $10 per version is not a bad deal.
