I've always been impressed by the design of this famed news agent in Grand Central Terminal, New York. Hudson News seemed like a UFO might look, one that is filled with books, magazines, newspapers, candy, and almost anything a commuter may need (interstellar or not!).
This iconic timepiece keeps time at a regular pace, overseeing countless on their journeys ... this particular view often reminds me of "Metropolis," not that of Superman, but of that 1920s silent film, a vision of a mechanized future.
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 the passageway to the shuttle that goes crosstown. 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.
