Very well rendered - has an anonymity to it that belies what took place there.

well said! thanks

i want to add that the idea for this shot came to me while i was actually sitting in the upper floor of a train passing by this site, while i was just looking outside and suddenly for only a split second i spotted that exact corridor, from where i took this photo. the next second i had the perspective for this shot in my head. so for me this photo is like a mirror of a memory. sounds weird, but is true...;)

It's already been said but I have to concur that the movement of the train adds a masterful touch. For me the train metaphorically represents life passing by quickly as the building slowly decays.

Through a window, back and forward in time. A grand image. I like the tone you use in this series. The lace/net curtain, so common in my England, is a nice touch of some distant person.
