Grand Central
Introduction– Grand central is one of New York City famous landmark. Also Grand central Terminal is known as the busiest train station in NYC. The architecture and history go back decades and was remodeled to keep its history but also modernized. This terminal has interior and exterior design that are monumental and beautiful. In the interior the terminal has restaurants and small shops to accommodate commuters that are traveling. This terminal is certainly a place to visit.
This image is of grand central on the upper level ramp. As you can see the architecture of the arch and the design of the ceilings and windows. The terminal is mainly granite and the color is beige. The terminal has a monumental space with well crafted details. There is a nice center piece in the middle of the terminal.
As you see this is an image of a flower with leaves. I like this image because of i found it to be beautiful. The craftsman’s of this artifact was astonishing and drew me in. The time and effort that a person took to build this beautiful but simple sculpture. The details of the lines and curve of the flower and leaves just fit in the terminal so elegantly.
The chandelier that is located of the entrance on grand central has a amazing detailed ceiling. The details of the crow modeling and medaled shape crown that is above the chandelier. Each chandelier goes straight across and it’s amazing features which makes the terminal feel so grand. Also the image of the terminal makes you feel like the history of it remains current with a little bit of modern feel.
This a nice picture of a clock inside the terminal caught my eye. Just like the picture of the flower that is detailed around the clock. Although it is not the famous clock but i was attracted to this one because if you take time and view grand central some things you may not have noticed before will catch your eye. The people helped build grand central and transformed took a lot of thought and effort remodeling the terminal.
