Union Station is a heck of a place to go take pictures, in case you have the photo fever and are frustrated by rainy days ruining your outings. The architecture is incredible and there are lots of textures, lines, curves and all sorts of other artistic elements to view and capture.

I recently passed through there and got a couple good photos while on my way somewhere else. Despite what you may think, it’s not just a mixture of high-end retail, restaurants and dirty bathrooms. It’s worth a trip to go check it out if you are a shutter bug, as I am. The station is definitely on my list of places to return to.

Anybody want to do a joint photo outing and feed off each other’s creativity and vision? There are lots of places nearby to get a cold one after a good session of creative photography, as well.
