In his photo gallery _[Wires](/streetcar/4711.shtml)_, Edward Chamberlain captured the artistry of the wires that powered Toronto's streetcar network. Here, Chamberlain turns his attention to Toronto's subways, looking at them from a different angle that we're used to. With Toronto's subways running underground, it's easy to forget that there are places in the city where you find the subways by looking up. Here are a few scenes:
