Aren't modern railway stations horrible? I bet Victorian railway architects are spinning in their graves. The stark utilitarianism perfectly suits the mood of the shot, though.
The irony here is that the original Monkwearmouth Station at Sunderland, built in the 19th century by the North Eastern Railway, still stands next to this modern structure. I believe its a listed building and is used as a museum. 21st century stations, such as the new Crossrail structure at Canary Warf much more artistic than anything built in the late 20th century.

I've got one, it came bundled with my new K3 last year and its excellent. Its light so it makes a great walkabout lens with my K30 when I want to travel light. The results are good.

Thank you all for the complimentary comments. There were some cracking images so very pleased to have got the points

The judge is called Dave Richardson APAGB I believe his home club is Ryton
I know David Richardson very well - he's an excellent judge. Unfortunately, so far as I know, he's not a Pentax user. And yes, he's a leading member of Ryton Camera Club.

You've done this attractive location proud Nigel. And as Stephen suggests if its near Chesil Beach that's another photogenic area to take in on the same day.

These are delicious, perfect examples of minimalism. I'm sure Dr Orloff who set and judged the latest weekly competition on the subject of minimalism will appreciate these as well.
It must have been a very relaxing break for you Bill but this time of year on the Norfolk coast I'm sure it was also bracing to say the least.

What a beautiful set of landscapes. The lighting is terrific, the iffy weather was a bonus for you.

The colourful backdrop makes this thought provoking image even more poignant. Even in some of the world's more affluent societies - Perth WA is hardly third world - the gap between the haves and the have nots is disturbing. Thanks for sharing Gary.
