Recently officially renamed the "William H. Gray III 30th Street Station" (but no one calls it that), Philadelphia's main rail station is a neoclassical gem. Located just across the river from Center City in West Philadelphia, it serves Amtrak, SEPTA, and a few NJ Transit trains. The modernist glass Cira Center office complex next door is a striking contrast.

Captured with a Hasselblad (Zeiss) T* CFE FLE 40mm/4 lens (@ f/8) lens, Pentax 645z camera (@ ISO 100).

I wonder if William H. Gray III is related to Macy.

The monument to PRR men who died in the two World Wars, inside, has to be seen to be believed. Photos don't do it justice.

There's also that fascinating relief of "the progress of Transportation" just off the main hall.

This is an amazing shot, Matt. Art I would put on my wall.
