 At the station "Westfriedhof" in Munich-a much beloved spot among photographers

The trains at this station run in perfect rhythm (pun intended)—they arrive on both tracks almost simultaneously. There is a brief moment after the previous passengers have left, but before the new passengers arrive, so there is no one in the scene.

I considered submitting this outtake, but decided on the cleaner, empty shot instead.

Congratulations, I love the coloration and the spot, good for you to find it empty. Great imagery! This one is worth printing and framing.

I thought this must be from you! Congratulations!
I couldn't have imagined to be directly in front of you on the front page one day.
How did you manage to have no one in the shot?

Whew, I gotta say, at first glance I thought this was inside one of those notorious data centers everyone hates. 😲😁

Certainly one of the most impressive subway stations in Munich, and you managed to catch it without people (or long term exposure?) - great shot!
