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.

There is alot to take in and the story makes the image that much more compelling.

Wonderful panorama of the city.

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.

Moving view and viewpoint. I can put much imagining into this photo, partly because I am at present reading Before the Flood by Otto Friedrich, about Berlin in the 1920s. That far of light is divine, more or less, in symbolism... nice series of photos.

Seeped in history. Those cisterns have a nice head of pressure, being up so high. I used to work in tin mines in England and those toilets remind me of the mass showers we used... no privacy really.

you have a knack for these abandoned buildings and sepia toning, always a pleasure to view. :)
