Soto
Station
Location:
2330 E. First, L.A.
The Gold Line is a subway
at the Soto station. Despite that, the station art works
are inspired by birds and sky and create a very magical effect
as you ascend from the platform below.
High above the escalator you
will see a wire bird's nest containing a blue "egg"
hanging the
ceiling. On the wall, a tile map of the area with
soaring birds.
 |
A few steps
further and the tile wall announces that you are
experiencing the "Sky Inside". |
On the escalator to the street
level there are more metal sculptures of birds.
 |
Above ground
the station gives a rather different
impression--almost like an oil derrick in a large open
plaza. This may, however, be due to engineering
issues. |
It is definitely worth
disembarking at this station to see the subterranean birds and
sky. These photos do not do this station justice. |
