Amsterdam Central Station, platform 14a, early in the morning.
The Central Station was built in the 19th century, and is now for many their first encounter with Amsterdam: the stately architecture of the building, the vibrant atmosphere created by many people of great variety, the angry taxidrivers at the doorstep, the eternal renovation projects turning everything into one muddy pit, the bikes that are being dragged into trains trams and metros, the undecisive tourists with their big suitcases, the stressed locals on their way to their appointments, the fastfood stands because not many sit down to eat; probably no other building would give such an accurate summary of the city as does the station.
We just don't have busy train train stations here. Timeless capture.
