The subway has its own climate. The temperature changes when you go down there. The density of the air, the quality of the light — all are different than above ground. The system also has its own wind patterns. I love the intense physicality of the breeze that precedes a train bearing down a tunnel. This video captures that blast of air as it moves through the hair of a selection of people at the Bedford Avenue stop of the L train.
