Old buildings or structures like this quite often give a much nicer feeling of their majesty when shot in B&W. I think unless there?s a very high level of colour that?s almost hurting the eyes, it?s best to shoot B&W as you did here. I would imagine using a 12 or 15mm lens in here would create an incredible perspective of what one feels standing in the station. I don?t recall this station when I was there shooting the ?92 Summer Olympics but then we didn?t have much time for looking around the city once the Games started. ted
