WW - Liverpool Street Station
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
Wow that is an impressive picture!! there is so much going on there... and for some reason the B&W makes it feel more real, more 'raw' - don't know if that makes sense? I like it though!!
Hey Jams, it sure doesn't look very crowded. I wonder how much worse it gets during rush hours?
Congratulations on the 200,000th reader! I'm only sitting at 31,000+ although I did have my 1000th post a few days ago. This is on my main blog. http://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/
Cat pee, I did a post on that. It gets quite a few hits. Find it on a lessor blog, http://jimmiehov8.blogspot.com/2008/01/her-cat-pees-on-furniture-reader-is.html
Hi Jams, my Wednesday Version of WW will be up later, just a little peek under your Kilt. I used your photos today and have had some good responses to them. Thank you so much from across the pond. Congrats on 200K, wow, you are a superstar.
Great shot! Love the added movement through the blurry spots. I recently took one in our main train station...it could be my next ww :) Happy Wednesday!
It was busy at Liverpool Street Station when you took that photo. I like the way you took the shot, very creative! The black/white makes it even more impressive.
Haha Chris.. happy memories and a cab to Hornchurch too?
Right blue, The shot was taken at a 2 second exposure. Luckily I didnt need a tripod as I could place it safely on top of a huge advertising scren hanging from a balcony

ReplyDeleteIt looks like Union Station in LA with a concourse.
ReplyDeleteI can not see a news stand in the picture.
You have captured the intensity of the station. Everyone's going somewhere with no time to waste! I feel pulled forward into the picture.

Is this the English version of Grand Central Station?
ReplyDeleteGreat clear crisp b/w. You must have used a tri-pod to get this great effect!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. Glad you liked this week's entry!

Interesting photo, it really shows movement, and the action of being inside a busy building. Thank you for visiting!

ReplyDeleteI live in West Palm Beach, maybe I was #200,000.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone
ReplyDeleteHaha Jimmy, sometimes the mind boggles at the searches that bring people to our blogs!
It could have been you Sarge. I really liked the way you used the Battle of Britain memorial photos. It was a beautiful post
jams, I love b&w shots! What time of day? Not rush hour I presume... :D
ReplyDeleteIt was just after 10am Mary. Rush hour was well and truly over. I must do another set earlier or later in the day
ReplyDeleteMany's the time I've ran across there trying to get the last non-stop to Romford....
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...this is different for you:)
ReplyDeletelove the black and white and all the movement...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
This is a great shot Jams.
ReplyDeleteMy wordless isn't so wordless below the photo, but stop by anyway. See ya there!
nice!! I've never been to a place like that! Must be so hectic.. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
I don't think I've ever seen Liverpool Street station so uncrowded. I like the black and white effect.
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture, and wonderfully captured at that. The b&w adds to the storytelling and "live action."
ReplyDeleteLove it!
wow! Great picture!
ReplyDeleteVery cool pic! Please help me choose my "about" page photo!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, love the action in the photo. Black and white is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Lovely B&W picture :)
ReplyDeleteAwesomeness shot Jams!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! One can actually feel the hustle and bustle at the station, plus, I love the black and white feel to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy (busy) photo, but I am sure that it has seen busier times...
ReplyDeleteCool shot! Ours is up as well at burntofferings and more at bernies fotoblog.
Have a great WW!!
Great shot! Love the added movement through the blurry spots. I recently took one in our main train station...it could be my next ww :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
How slow was your shutter speed in order to get the blur? It's quite an arty shot.

ReplyDeleteI love busy trainstation pics! Make me think of travelling and packpacking! :) Great shot!
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the motion! Given the right perspective, we all look like a bunch of worker ants, don't we? Haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. The B&W gives it much more feeling than colour could.
ReplyDeleteA very active photo! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteI got lost in Liverpool Street Station last week! LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot you got there! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured the motion and energy of such places. Cool photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you captured the action and movement.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Jams. They almost look like they are choreographed.
ReplyDeleteMy wordless blog is Carver Cards
It has such wonderful texture in black and white. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
The B&W just makes the shot!
ReplyDeleteTHanks everyine, Glad you liked this shot.
ReplyDeleteHaha Chris.. happy memories and a cab to Hornchurch too?

I like the slightly blurred people, hinting at the hub-bub.
ReplyDeleteThe station is huge! I might visit this place in the future because my hubby is a Liverpool fan and he is planning to visit Liverpool. :)
ReplyDeleteTHanks Julia, thannks ECL. Liverpool St is in London and strangley the trains from the station go nowhere near Liverpool!
ReplyDeletefrom the third world's point of view, it appears like an international airport to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see train stations like that.
