I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas here on TrekEarth. I took this last year in Union station in Washington DC. This is outside the train station looking down the archways one after another. This is the large train station very close to the Capitol Building and Supreme Court building. I was lucky that they hadn’t taken down the wreaths yet when I took this.
I wish I had my wide-angle with me at the time but I try to manage with my portrait orientation. This was the first day out shooting with my D200 when it was brand new.

I will be back to posting my pictures regularly later this week.

Hej Stephen,
A very nice view with a good perspective. The repetition of the arches and the wreaths is very nice, especially with the red colour. The people are a good inclusion too. Well done!
I wish you a Merry Christmas too!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Stephen,

Nice to be the second after Lars to compliment you with this beautiful and powerful X-mas image. I like the strong repetition and the returning red ribbons.

More best wishes for Christmas and 2008 from Holland.

Hi Stephen,

Merry Chritmas...
I like the perspective and red effect of this shot and it's clear...

Stay well
Deniz

Hello Stephen,

Conceived and exposed beautifully. The little child in the red jacket adds a brilliant highlight. Sometimes the places we take for granted are precisely he places that we should present to the TE world, as you do. Union Station is indeed a beautiful building, and your first experience with the the D200 is clearly successful. I just acquired the D200, and I cannot wait to read the huge owner's manual and begin shooting.

Warm regards, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Hello Stephen,
The high, white arches with the red wreaths makes a beautiful image come alive. A great hall to walk,
Merry Christmas...
Steve

Well well Merry Christmas to you Stephan. The red bows really add a nice touch in this perspective. I think the minimalist approach to decorating this hallway looks really attractive. And your eyes caught it in the best way possible. All the best Stephen to you this Christmas and in the coming year.

Christmas Cheers..glub..burp..oops...sorry.. YEAH!!

Hola Stephen.
Nice view of the repetition of arches with the red and green Christmas wreaths, well captured with a good perspective, very neat and sharp image. Good idea the addition of people in your shot. Well done. TFS.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Cheers.

Great shot Stephen! The view down the archway is very interesting because of the repeated arches and columns as you look farther away. This creates a good pattern, and also enhances the impression of depth or 3 dimensions in the shot. Having the people in the shot is good too, because they add some scale to this. Well done!
