Oh, for the days of dust tinged streams of light in large public works. These “hark, the herald angels sing!” photos were taken at Grand Central Station in 1941 — before the surrounding buildings blocked out the natural light. Sad!

*sigh* is right.
wow…just beautiful! i’ve visited Grand Central several times during the day and would have loved to see the light pouring in. being in black & white makes the pictures even more lovely, i think.
Beautiful photos. I long for natural light like that…
That really is breathtaking, isn’t it? Is it just me, or does looking at an old atmospheric picture like this seem to scream ‘story, I have a story to tell….’? That man and that woman could fill a book, with just that light and those gestures, and that location.
