20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Train Station Window

A photograph must reflect what a window visually tells the world. While each is a vessel letting light into a room, every window has their own voice. This window commanded attention and authority as it towered near the entrance of the San Jose's Amtrak Station. The viewer must tilt their head back to marvel at its architectural solidity. The bottom right glass pane differs from the rest, leaving me to assume it was replaced. This giant has not ventured through life unscathed.
