what a Beautiful Place !!! Did you get to enjoy the cherry blossoms while you were there? I've been to DC once; I'd love to go back again.

That's one fantastic shot. I had no idea that this station was so grand!

Fine POV, perspective, clarity and geometry in this shot of the station's vast interior, and the cafe, which seems out of place in this cavernous edifice. I bet it was an afterthought after the station was built.

Wow! This looks like some fancy gallery. I love how you are pulled back and get the enormous size of the room.

oh, Odie, this is splendorous. All the comments say it in their own way. It's a big symphony of curves and caverns moving in counterpoint to each other, some continuing the line of the other, some going 'contra', like a big Bach fugue. You even moved so you could catch the stairway (viewer left): I sweeps right up to the arch, and then the arch turns everything around another way. With arches this deep—and that wonderful arched vaulting that goes into the back of the hall—the place has a 'cavernous' feel, and you got it in shadows and got it in capturing the arches as they seem to roll into each other across the room. I agree with goodoleboy that the cafeteria looks out of place: I'll bet, with him, that it was added later! But it gives you one more big curve to add to your vision: It just sits there, a big garish table-looking thing that keeps the curves going and gives them yet another voice. (This picture must be seen full-size!) And you have this knack for slightly off-center angles, which work perfectly here to sweep us in from the side, and your low POV allows us to receive the whole. Your mind is at work, your heart is embracing, and this basic American train station—Romanesque to the core and a bit overdone—turns into another work of beauty and love from your hands. Voila.

What a spacious and beautiful building. The warm wooden color compliments the buildings interior. Excellent lighting. It brings out the golden strips or inlay work. I trust you and Erin had a ball during your stay.

Love the ceiling of Union Station. It uses the same technique as the Romans to make large open ceilings with no center support. The stepped depressions all over the ceiling are used to cut down on the weight over the entire arch. Thanks for this photo!
