Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it

Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

That Station offers a lot of possibilities for us, and here I like the lighting against the dark building and the composition. Well done.

There's no more famous landmark, I don't think. And no more interesting place to be, either. I don't think most people can appreciate how ornate and magnificent that building is. This shot is a good representation but you really have to see it to "get" the place. It is a nexus.

I like your use of black to bring out the light. Reminds me of a Rembrandt painting.
