Description
This is a wonderful stairway in the Union Station Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. It took me 20 minutes to get down these stairs because I was taking so many photos. In this view we are looking down to a set of chairs in the lobby.
Long before it was a historic hotel, Union Station was a key center in America's economy and culture. Opening on Oct. 9, 1900, to great fanfare, the building's imposing Gothic design - featuring lofty turrets and towers - was a testament to U.S. ingenuity and energy. During railroading's glory years, the station saw characters such as movie starlet Mae West and Mafia kingpin Al Capone - who was escorted through here on his way to Georgia penitentiary.

This part almost reminds me of a moment from the movie "The Matrix." Well done here and congrats!

Wow, what a great shot, Glenn! The patterns of the staircase are just wonderful! I love those two chairs in the lobby at the very bottom level. Excellent photography! L

Thanks Sandi. The chairs were also nice when you got to stand next to them. That rug, those chairs, table and lamp - someone stood here, looked down and figured it out.
