I found a certain uniqueness and nostalgia in the appearance of some of Munich’s metro cars like this one. I was drawn to the analog flip-board signage and the blue and white paint scheme. The interiors with their faux wood paneling transported me to a time period other than the one I presently occupied.

Watching the passersby cross over the Isar.

I miss simple moments such as these and the excitement the bring to me. Benign to many, intriguing to me. Witnessing the world beyond where I live has been the greatest privilege of my life. Something that I never felt I took for granted, however, after nearly year of being stuck at home, I question whether I appreciated moments such as these to their fullest. I look forward to the next journey, though, I fear it will not be soon enough.
