Description
The iconic clock in the center of the great hall within Grand Central Station in New York City.
Grand Central Terminal stands as one of America's greatest transportation hubs, and one of New York City's most iconic buildings. It is both a national institution and an international example of giving new life to a historic building rather than demolition and reconstruction. Over the course of a colorful and tumultuous 100-year history, Grand Central has gone from being simply the beginning and terminating point of long-distance rail travel, to being the iconic home of Metro-North Railroad and a destination for commuters, tourists and residents. Grand Central boasts restaurants, cocktail lounges, a gourmet market, and numerous specialty shops. (information obtained at www.mta.info)

I just had to visit this terrific b/w of Central Station so I can comment and share this wonderful image! Perfect composition, with positioning the iconic clock to the right, the sign in foreground, and the beautiful windows in the background. Not to mention the spot on tones!
