Train control signals where the subway system passes through a freeway interchange near my house.

Title is what I used to say when my parents drove me around as a little kid.

Little editing except for applying a slight skew adjustment to the upper-right corner to straighten the top "horizon" line.

Simple editing, but good job bring out the detail and colors.

Yes I like the green glow as well, green light is my favourite!

Simple but quite effective! I like the symmetry and the way the green glow spills onto the board behind it.

My (nearly) 3 year old is saying the same thing about traffic lights now.

Good use of lines for the framing of the lights.

Fun story! But I thought maybe it needed some more punch to it, so I played with it a bit. In my edit, they resemble trains on a collision course. All in fun (and I'll remove if you'd like)...

Nice focus and colour. I like that you have shared a little bit of nostalgia with your title and notes.
