Chris Budny level-deluxe December 16, 2011

Let me wax rhapsodic on this, being the first to comment on it when you originally posted... ;) First of all, your series from this station is just remarkable. The station's modern, clean design and eye-popping color begs to be photographed. But bring to that Katta's particular eye, and that great lens, and you start to get magic. Waiting out the right time for a train to arrive or depart (with that great blue to offset the orange) with a traveller standing there, just off-center with luggage... well, it is nothing less than perfection! Huge, huge congratulations to you, Katta!! Add this to the list of places I want to go whenever I finally get over there to visit!! #9872285

Bob Cournoyer level-classic December 16, 2011
