Train station after downpour Photo

Photographer’s Note

Spending my time in Luxembourg we bought train tickets to Metz (about 15 euros return). After an hour on the air conditioned train we got off and felt much warmer air, it was sunny (at last) but there were some stormy clouds, here you can see the railway station AFTER the downpour:))))
Metz is a city in the northeast of France, capital of the Lorraine region and prefecture of the Moselle department.
It is located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers.

It has one of the highest St. Etienne, Gothic cathedral featuring stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall.
It has also lovely old town streets, with many shops and patisseries and coffee shops.

It's not difficult to stroll round the city as almost everwhere you come across huge maps for the lost tourists, follow the pavements signed with a cathedral or a dragon;)

Hi Gosia,

a good POV for taking the train station in Metz. The sky has something menacing and I like the contrast between the old building and the modern lamps in the foreground.

Have a nice day,
Edi

Hello Gosia,
The damp weather brings out the tones and textures in the architecture to good effect. The point of view is well chosen and I like the presence of the lady with her umbrella, who contributes much to the atmosphere. Very good clarity.

Super ciekawy kawalek architektury. Jeszcze nie widzialem podobnej wiezy bardzo wyjatkowa w moim przekonaniu. Rowniez fajna kolorystyka m.in. dzieki fajnemu kolorowi kamienia, plus oczywiscie swietny po deszczowy efekt.

hi Gosia,
I know this impressive station since a stay in Metz 2 years ago, a strange architecture, a massive building, not very beautiful but surprising and interesting.
You've made a good shot of it under this heavy sky.

Witaj Goska,
ale kolory i konntast !! Ciekawy POV i dobra rameczka, lubie takie momenty po deszczu - zwlaszcza powietrze - swieze i orzezwiajace - dla mnie, alergika to chwile ukojenia,
pozdrawiam
