I love railway stations. This one is so pretty.

Rose said...

This is such a good, crisp photograph. I love it...I love railroad depots and always wish I could have one to set up as my quilt studio/reading room.

This looks perfect in monochrome. Great capture.

This station is simple and looks very cosy, like those ones we can see in old movies! Fabulous shot!

Lovely scene - on my map Uxbridge is a long way from York and Durham!

Dagrun said...

Perfect monochrome subject! Just wonderful.

Martha Z said...

A great choice for a monochrome shot.

I'm guessing that's in Canada? The funny thing is I've just been on a trip to York, but in the UK! :D

Carver said...

That's a charming train station. Looks so well maintained but also old.

I like that a lot!

This is an interesting railway station, I used to live near Uxbridge in UK - nowhere near York or Durham.

PERBS said...

Good choice in black and white. You done good!

Lowell said...

What an absolutely beautiful old building! I take it this is still in use?

And your photo is picture-perfect; terrific contrast; great whites and tack-sharp!

I'm impressed!

So much cuteness in such a small building!

I bet it looks nicer now than it did when in use!

Daryl said...

Oh this is now how I will 'see' British countryside RR stations when I read my mysteries!

Miranda McAfee said...

The Tones!!!! so perfect!

Lovely looking building, perfect in B&W.

Bim said...

A very neat station - it reminds me of a poem by Edward Thomas - the first to stanzas always made me laugh:


Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform. What I saw
Was Adlestrop—only the name
