  12. James, I agree with Lizzi about the lines in your composition. I would say that you have just about perfected the night shots. Have you figured out a way to stay warm while you are doing it?

    Have a wonderful weekend, mon ami!

  20. That place always used to scare me when I was a little kid. I think it was the vastness of the inner space and the large collection of strangers. But your image is warm and stately. beautifully composed and lit. You really have a knack for the night shots and I know it must be cold out there. I really appreciate the effort behind this endeavor!

  27. Superb! 30th St. Station is a beautiful building, especially since the renovated the interior back in the late 1980's.

    I'm finally back. My reflection this week is subtle but it's there.

  36. Hi, James
    I came here through ruma's "Calligraphy In The Landscape".

    I'm very glad to find beautiful reflections site as I love reflections and am interested in taking pictures of them very much.

    I'm a beginner in photos, but I couldn't help joining this site.

    The reflection on the river in your picture looks like a beautiful oil painting.

  37. Hey James, beautiful portrait of that grande old dame of Philadelphia. When I was going to school in Philadelphia I used to go through 30th St. Station frequently. The inside is an amazing space. There was a used book dealer in there too where I picked up many a fine volume for pennies... thanks for the memories...
