Time Machine in a Neon Subway Station

Photorealistic scene of a time machine on a subway platform. A compact, futuristic device sits on a wheeled base beside the benches. The machine features a glass capsule core surrounded by polished brass and brushed steel, with a pulsating blue energy core and subtle gears visible through the glass. Cold neon-blue light from station signs and overhead fluorescents reflects off wet tile floors. Commuters in coats pause and stare as a train doors hiss open nearby. Digital arrival boards glow with flickering timing readouts. Time distortion is suggested by a faint air ripple around the device, with clockwork elements materializing and fading. The shot is eye-level, 50mm perspective, with high dynamic range and crisp textures: concrete walls, metal railings, condensation on glass. Color palette leans cool with blues/greens and warm tungsten accents. Mood: awe, tension, and a sense that history might shift in this moment.
