not pretty, but my eye (and by extension
my camera) were drawn right to it.

Shadow Shot Sunday

It's almost rush hour at the Nyugati
(i.e., Western) Railway Terminal in Budapest.

by Gustave Eiffel's company—and Eiffel's
hand is evident here, I think (more than 
a decade before he built his famous tower).
