Hi JP,
Sad to see blatant commercialism taking over the beauty of this historic building. But in terms of photographic structure it is very good because because of the repeating patterns. Well captured and composed ... your description is also very good. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hi,JP,
Now after your sky shot we are aground:)
It's funny that this railway station reminds me of the one in the Russian town of Izhevsk:)
I like the suggested idea of movement.
