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.

On the escalator to the street level there are more metal sculptures of birds.

Soto STation Metro Gold Line plaza.JPG (31392 bytes) 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.

these days?
