How Australia is that?! Wonderful shot. Such rich color and light and good composition.

@MontereyJohn: Like a film set! Thanks MJ for the visit!
It looks so neat to my eyes. The benches are shining.

@Behrooz: It's preserved as an historic site for steam train fans - otherwise it would be derelict and in ruins. Thanks Behrooz!
It's reminiscent of the old west ! You did a fine job with this capture , looking at the architecture of it I have to guess it was modeled after that.

@Fred: Yes, restored and kept in this condition for the Historic Society of steam train buffs! Thanks Fred!
nostalgic platform, when is the next train here, is Harry Poter coming too?

@Dimitrios: Bon Voyage Dimitrios! Bring us back some pics of Old New York!
Sweet feeling of a lazy afternoon, sheltering from the sun, and waiting for a train that never comes.

@Damon Schreiber: That's so appropriate - I might quote you if I use this photo again. Lovely comment, thanks Damon!
Wonderful framing and excellent light! One can come up with so many stories looking at this shot.. magic. ;-)

@amy: Place a girl in Victorian muslin waiting for her beau - or the train has left, and he wasn't on it ... Thanks Amy (let's not get too crazy with the "magic"!)
Fabulous framing and composition!

@Reza: Many thanks Reza!
Magnifique ! J'aime beaucoup ce style. Ça change des gares modernes et froides.

@Henri Rabagny: D'accord, mais cette gare est hors de service! Merci Henri! As-tu des photos des candidats d'election?
Non, je les vois assez à la TV et sur tous les murs de Paris ! J'ai fait mon choix depuis longtemps alors, en attendant la date du vote, je préfère les images plus positives ; comme l'effort des marathoniens de dimanche. Je les mettrai sur Aminus après le Pont Alexandre III.

@Henri Rabagny: Bon, d'accord - je comprend - j'habite moins d'un kilmetre de notre parlement et je ne pris jamais les photos des politiciens que je vois dans les environs, et pour les memes raisons! Ta serie des ponts de Paris est superbe. J'ai une photo que j'ai prise en 1979 d'un Citroen sur le Pont Marie que je suis tente de montrer ici - peut-etre! (une des mes favories de ma jeunesse!)
To wait... Beautiful image!

What a beautiful old station. This has a timeless feel to it. Very well taken Sidonie.

@Stu: I'll have to find more pics like this - it's the Australia many want to see, judging by the response here. Yhanks for the visit Stu!
