I dithered over B&W or colour, but in the end decided that it MUST be colour.
There are (I think) two or three images here. Direct images and reflections within reflections.
This is the waiting area in the gigantic new Eurostar terminal at St. Pancras Station, London. The glass separates the area from the escalators rising to the railway tracks above. The white pillars are the original Victorian built iron support columns.
Yesterday Mrs 'roony allowed 'roony to go to Paris on Eurostar to meet Peter http://peter-pho2.blogspot.com/ and Richard http://zurich.dailyphoto.forthmedia.com/dailyphoto/ for a full and frank exchange of views. The French got wind of this and staged a riot at the Gare du Nord which delayed the high speed train by almost 20 minutes (such is the efficiency of the French riot police who are used to this everyday minor occurrence).
My two "pics of the day" are this moody (slightly shaky) but none the less representative shot of the magnificent staircase in the Opera and below a detail of the grand dome in the recently restored and totally stunning "Belle Epoque" style Galleries Lafayette department store.
Peter and Richard were delightful companions and 'roony returned tired but grateful to the French riot police for all they had done to make his trip successful.
