This is a very unique structure in the subway station under Philadelphia City Hall.. I've been wanting to photograph it for a while now.. I thought it would make a great sci-fi movie poster.. A chasam is a hole in the earth.. which basically this is..

Thank you for the votes and great comments:o)

This is cool. It looks like something we might have seen for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." It looks like a spaceship to me.

I don't know what the hell this is but it looks straight out of a sci-fi movie. Look's like the inside of an alien craft.

I really like this image - very poster-like. The second image in this challenge I've proclaimed to be 21.gif Dougi555-like. I'd put a bit of money on this one!
