Grand Central As Seen From Pershing Square
The imposing and magnificent art nouveau facade of Grand Central Station, with the overpass bridge of adjacent Pershing Square, make a bold and dramatic architectural statement, especially when seen at night. The glow of the streetlights only add to the drama of the scene, especially when you know that this famous train station just turned 100 years years old in 2013 - a most celebrated centenarian. Sepia version.

New York At Night - Subway 2
These oversized street ad overshadow those who walk around and by it; giant eyes watch passersby as we go about our daily lives. It is an almost ominous presence, and a mysterious one, as well.

Morning In Grand Central

I took this picture of Grand Central Station in New York City as it celebrated its 100th Birthday Grand Centennial in 2013. It was published, along with the other photos of Grand Central that I'm posting here, as part of an article to mark this great occasion. This is just by the famous Clock, where people traditionally decide to meet. This old train station never fails to impress me with its magnificent arches, passageways, and architecture. The lighting is especially nice in sepia tones or black and white, so that you can concentrate on the beauty of the building itself and the people within. These photos make a beautiful series if you are interested in the history of trains or of Grand Central Station or New York City. Several together make a lovely grouping of wall art.

Tableau - Subways Of New York
These denizens of the deep - framed, individual masterpieces of time and space rooted firmly to the gritty underground scene of New York's subway system, wait patiently for the train. You never know how long it will be.

Subways. A system of numbers, connecting lines on the map that is New York. The first underground line opened in 1904, although a short prototype subway was tested way back in 1869. It extended 312 feet under Broadway in Lower Manhattan and was propelled by pneumatic tube technology.

Alone
Sometimes the world makes us feel lonely and alone, other times, it wraps us in a protective shield that no one can break through. Which is it, in this photo? Or is it merely a picture of someone waiting for a train?
