Default Railway Station

Canadian National Railway Station

This is a photo of the old train station at the Thunder Bay Marina (Ontario). With the possibility of new development starting soon there is a chance that this building may not be around too much longer so I made sure to take a good photo of it.

Instead of using wide angle lens I opted for a fisheye which I rarely use. I think it worked well in this case. Let me know what you think!

I like it, normally I'm not a big fan of fish eye, but it really works here. And I like the PP as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to get photos of all the older buildings around town before they are potentially torn down. It's kind of sad in a way but is also makes for some good photo opportunities too.

The fisheye worked very fine for the tracks. I love the symmetry. TFS.

I have to agree with the other posters...very nicely composed...the sepia works really well and I like the overall symmetry of the shot.
