Cityscapes - Continuum Photo

Photographer’s Note

This image was taken in Leipzig's central train station. It is the biggest of it's type in Europe. Badly hit and nearly destroyed during WWII, it was restored till 1965. In the last years, the front building was converted into a huge shopping mal with around 140 shops.
When trains are late and you have to wait for hours to get the next connection, a train station can become a place to find interesting motives.
Here, I was fascinated by the reflections of the main hall's roof on the train's windshield. You may have impression of the structure warping into the glass.

Ciao Rene!!
mi faccio viva troppo tardi, ma era ora che qualcuno notasse questa bellissima foto! Il rosso del treno inquadra un disegno riflesso davvero interessante.
E' un'ottima composizione.
Ciao, a presto!!

Ciao Rene,
chitarrista?

Gradisco molto questa tua immagine, sia per il bel rosso del treno che cattura su di esso lo sguardo di chi osserva la foto, ma soprattutto trovo bello il riflesso sul vetro del treno, dove si crea un piacevole effetto grafico.

Well done!
Francesco
