Union Station is the ground transportation hub of Washington, D.C. that provides local, regional and interstate routes for trains and buses. This train station was designed by architect Daniel Burnham and opened in 1907. Union Station exudes a grandeur in the architectural details in the interior and exterior influenced by classical Roman and Greek architecture.
Union Station in DC is a photogenic place. It’s easy to find inspiration all over. I was taken by this doorway, a simple entrance to the side of the building because of its vaulted archway, details in the stonework, and the aged wood of the door itself. This particular doorway is on the eastern side of the façade of Union Station.
The symmetry and detail make this such a grand doorway in my eyes and inspired this photo. On a summer evening after exploring the area I set up my tripod and panoramic head and shot six input images comprised of three bracketed exposures each for this vertical panoramic stitch.
