Empty Platform
by pgweber
What do you do when you miss your connecting train and there's a wait till the next one?
Take some photographs, of course.
I quite like the harsh station lighting and the glare as it bounces off the floor and also the grainy effect of ISO1600 - it's a K10D remember!

Lovely, moody shot. Very gritty and atmospheric.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Thank you gentlemen for your kind comments.
I am pleased that the shot evoked the adjectives used by Paul and Andrew, "creepy", "moody" and "atmospheric".
I deliberately chose the platform with no activity to gain a sense of desolation and emptiness. The only thing I would have liked to add would have been a touch of fog, but maybe that would have been over-the-top.
Regards
