The heavy iron door opened silently. Eyes adjusted to the darkness, inevitably the path ahead was downwards by way of ladders. The clunking sound ceased - quantum-x had reached the bottom. Trying not to breath in the sparkling shards of fibreglass that were now airbourne thanks to our disturbance, I followed, glad to pass through the open door at the bottom and into the relatively fresh atmosphere of the abandoned metro station. And so began my induction into Parisian Metro exploration.
The following photos are a few from that night - one that in retrospect seems fairly tame compared to what followed after. But since the start of something is usually as important as the rest, and because too often back then it's hard to envisage just how things will pan out, it's going down here on record. Big thanks to ds for the hook-up, q-x for everything since (especially the fireworks and cigars...) plus endless gratitude to MC and Jean. Full speed ahead, cap'n.
