Today's photo of the day is entitled "Metra Train" and is by Merrick Brown. Merrick's a new citizen of Chicago, after spending the last ten years in Austin, Texas; during the day he's also a graphic designer, and at night he's a DJ and electronica artist too. You can find out a lot more about all these topics at his personal site.

Don't forget that I actually maintain a whole page of favorite photographs over at Flickr, for those who would like to see more. To express an interest in having your own work featured, just drop me a line at cclapcenter [at] gmail.com.
