Oriente Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Gare do Oriente is one of the main transport hubs in Lisbon, Portugal. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and built by Necso. It was finished in 1998 for the Expo '98 world's fair in Parque das Nações, where it is located.

It encompasses a Lisbon Metro station, a high-speed, commuter and regional train hub, a local, national and international bus station, a shopping centre and a police office.

The station bears considerable resemblance to Calatrava's earlier Allen Lambert Galleria within Toronto's Brookfield Place.

Oriente Station is one of the world's largest stations, with 75 milion passengers per year which makes it as busy as Grand Central Terminal in New York.

j'aime beaucoup le graphisme de cette photo et le choix judicieux de la traiter en Noir et Blanc; elle est sombre mais que plus belle!

Ciao Marco,
bellissima questa figura che cammina nel tunnel, molto ben gestita la luce e bello il gioco dei riflessi.
ben fatto

hi Marco,
great graphical pov with the line of the footbridge and the triangle drawn by the opening of the station.
I also like the reflection of the man's legs on the glass barriers.
Good B&W.

Olá Marco,

The subject of the image is a good one for black and white.
Great job for your b/w, it works very well here. I like your composition with the men in frame.
Have a nice day,
Filipe
