Default 3rd Class Ticket Office...
Another few images from my visit to the old Kampala (Uganda) train station. Cargo is the only thing that passes through here, passengers have not used the only rail link Uganda's capital Kampala since the 1980's... We managed to gain access and take some shots...

Another great find! Looks fab in B&W too. Great that you were able to go in and take some shots, you got some wonderful material from the photo opportunities there.

You can feel the hustle, the haggling, the exchange of currency and tickets and the hot dry air...the photos say it all.

simple and effective B&W shots and the slight angles only add to the overall composition - great
