What better time to visit England than in the spring? With trees budding and green grass and – finally! – some sun, it’s a perfect chance to explore what the country has to offer, without the cold. Some photos from recent days in Brighton, London and the Cotswolds.

The 2nd Avenue Subway project has been on the table for many many years. It was first proposed in 1929 [1] but has found itself stopped and started and shelved ever since. In 2007, the 2nd Avenue line construction began in earnest, and the MTA has just released these photographs from April 2013, taken underneath 86th street.

We thought it would be interesting for travelers and locals alike to see what lies just beneath the metropolis. Photos are all from the MTA’s Flickr feed. For the full set from the 86th Street Station, see here.
