Estació de França

A father and son walk along the platform at Barcelona’s Estació de França train station.

This shot was taken around fifteen minutes before we boarded our overnight train from Barcelona to Paris. Getting to Paris from Barcelona is significantly faster than getting to Barcelona from Marseille, even though Marseille is closer! This is because the French fast trains are just that, incredibly fast.

I really like the design and architecture the building (there are plenty of other photos out there) and was glad we had half an hour (or more, I forget) to just sit, relax and enjoy the place. It was amazingly quiet which made the whole atmosphere really peaceful. I managed to get a few good shots as I was able to take my time.

    The silhouetted aea and wonderful contrast in lighting make this most appealing. Superb!

    Through enjoying photos like yo have here I sought to understand the state of awareness, involvement and satisfaction I felt through the art of photography.

I mean, really, really nice. I especially liked the squab, he didn't put up a fight.
