Phoenix, Arizona

Double-decker transit buses are something I expect plying the streets of London, not decaying in a parking lot in a run-down corner of downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Made this sad, sad find a few weeks ago.

Arches over tracks, Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof

Here’s a view inside the train shed at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, in some photos taken back in September 2015. I quite like how the roof is reflected in the windshield of the train waiting at Track 21, below.

King's Cross, redux

I love this structure at King’s Cross station in London. There’s something soothing about the curvy lattice … although I couldn’t tell you why, exactly.
