A man buys a train ticket at Grand Central Station

I was visiting Grand Central Station for the first time in November 2018. Of course, I snapped a few shots of the expansive main terminal waiting area that I had seen in countless movies but then I caught sight of the ticket windows. I was struck by the lighting. I didn't know how long the man would be standing at the window or if anyone else might walk up after him, giving me another opportunity to get the shot so I pulled out my cell phone and snapped a few shots.
