It's the McNamarra Terminal at Detroit Airport.

Olympus XA with Fuji Neopan 400 pushed to 800 and developed in Rodinal 1:50.

What wonderful lines Brian - good timing on the train (just in the right place I'd say) and a great composition overall. I like the tonality that the pushed film has given as well and the apparent mass of people in the far distance.

Thank you, Pete. When I set up for the shot I delayed pressing the trigger until the train got plenty close. Then, when I saw the final image, I was thinking I should have waited longer. Perhaps a the time I was thinking that I didn't want the train obscuring the windows. Anyway, thanks again, Pete!

I think if it was much closer, although it would 'complete' the R-L diagonal, it would become a picture of a train and not the terminal building as it is now. For me, as it was shot, is better I think.

 

[Brian Moore]

Yes, I see. Thank you, Pete.

I agree the train isnt the focus of the shot love the tones here one thing I miss about film if you had got the train closer it would have been a shot of the train

 

[Brian Moore]

if you had got the train closer it would have been a shot of the train

Point well-taken, Dave. Thanks.
