Prettiest Subway Station in Brooklyn

Prospect_park_stop

Seeing this photograph of the Prospect Park platform on Planet PLG reminded us of our local subway station's appearance.  Its colors change with the time of year; our favorite time of year for our stop is Spring, when the mosses and molds that grow on the concrete walls shine in garish shades of green, yellow and orange.

Though Prospect Park Station doesn't have the charming grape vines of Cortelyou Road, our stop is full of aesthetic surprises.  It brightens our otherwise drab commute.

While I sort of like imagining that the walls are somehow alive (and who's to say they aren't?), I do sometimes envy the nice tiles of Parkside Ave...
