U-Bahn Station Georg-Brauchle Ring - Line U1
The Munich U-Bahn (German: U-Bahn München) system is an electric rail rapid transit network in Munich, Germany. “U-Bahn” is the German contraction for Untergrundbahn or “subway”.
Today the U1 has a length of 12.2 km. It starts at Olympia-Einkaufszentrum. On the way south it follows Hanauer Straße to Georg-Brauchle-Ring, which has been designed by Franz Ackermann, reaching Westfriedhof. It continues via Gern to Rotkreuzplatz. Below the Nympenburger Straße it goes on to Maillingerstraße and Stiglmaierplatz and finally merges into the U2 track at München Hauptbahnhof.
Fraunhoferstraße, the next station, is also reached in separate tunnels, which had to be excavated using tunneling shields due to the proximity of the River Isar. However, the two tubes are connected by the platform, which demanded large pillars that are characteristic for this station. The next station, Kolumbusplatz, is a junction which has three tracks. Here U1 branches off U2 again.
The southbound branch line was opened in 1997 and traverses the colourful station Candidplatz, eventually reaching Wettersteinplatz. The following station, St.-Quirin-Platz has an extraordinary architecture as it is covered by a large, shell-like structure made from glass and steel, which is drawn nearly down to track level on one side. Below Neupliastraße, there is the terminus of U1, Mangfallplatz.
Stacky 5’s large post feature
Stacky 5, like its predecessors, uses Masonry by Desandro which aligns the posts left to right then stacks the posts beneath like bricks, thus creating columns. From Stacky 4 up, the ability to control individual post sizes was added making columns wider, however in Stacky 5, controlling post sizes is easier than before.
In the appearance settings of the theme you will see an option that reads “Large post tag”, by default ‘large’ is the set tag, when creating or reblogging a post add ‘large’ to the tags (without the quotes) and the post will appear twice the size of normal posts on your blog (filling two columns). You may change the tag to whatever you want, if you regularly tag your posts with the same thing you may wish to use that, for example, if your blog has many landscape photos (tagged ‘landscape’) then you may set it as ‘landscape’.
For more features included in Stacky 5 and other releases, follow the Untitled Themes blog. You can install Stacky 5 here.

I Love Dust created this playgful, graphic, yet handmade-feeling packaging for Allotinabox, a series of GYO (Grow Your Own) boxes to help anyone — even those in small urban spaces — grow their own food at home. Learn more about the boxes and their contents right here.
Philadelphia-based Justin LaFontaine has made some really great screen printed posters. I love the simple, graphic style.
The latest piece from Jason Dean of The Best Part is Day and Night, an illustrative city scene that completely changes its tune when the lights go out.
The freaks come out at night! By day, this glow-in-the-dark poster features a quaint city scene. But when the lights go out, a town full of crime, sex, guns and zombies (and a few extra hidden surprises) appears.
