Weekly Photo Contest: Station

[Andrew Martonik]

Pacific Central Station in Vancouver. Taken with a Nexus 5.

This week's photo contest is designed to have a diverse set of responses with the prompt "station." Whether you're getting on a train or listening to the radio there's a station involved, and we can think of a few more situations where the word "station" comes to mind as well. We're looking for your best station pictures this week, no matter the situation, as long as it follows the station prompt.

We hope to see a good number of entries this week, and we're going to be picking out three winners as a result. Each winner this week will take home a Chromecast for their winning photo.

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry in a post below. Tell us what Android you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. We'll pick a winner Tuesday (Oct 14) night at 11:59 PM ET, and announce them on the blog with next Wednesday's contest.

• Pictures must be taken with an Android device
• Pictures must be uploaded to the contest thread. I'm not running all over the Internet to track them down.
• You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software you might have used. Editing your pictures is fine — this is art.
• Feel free to add a little back story — we want to know how the picture came to be.
• You must have used a valid email address to register here at AC, so I know how to contact the winner.
• Only one entry per week per person.

Good luck, everyone!

Took this picture with My Samsung Galaxy S4 and it is unedited. This was taken at a gas station, in the mountians of North Carolina, that still had working analog pumps.

Here is my attempt
It is my old hard drive docking station. There is not much story behind to tell you, bought it couple of years ago and rarely use it. If there is no this contest, it would probably sit in the draw for next couple of months

Photo is taken with my OnePlus One // Stock CM11S 33R // Stock CM Camera // Clear Image mode // post-pro in Google Picasa

Los Angeles Union Station, some color adj, crop, Nexus 5.
Took this on my way to catch train home, mid summer when the light floods the building just right and the sun is setting through all of the LA haze.

Thanks! I had fun taking photos with my phone on my lunch hour. I work in downtown Denver and there's some great photo ops there. Glad you all enjoyed my photo!

When was the last time you've listened to a real local radio station? Not the an internet radio station but the one your transistor receiver play. Meet our 16-year old radio at home. Listening to 92.70 FM Real Radio Saturday music. A little bit dusty but still kicking after all these years.

Taken with my Xperia Z2 and edited with Pixlr.
