Racing cars on the concourse. This shot was taken at the Goodwood Revival which takes place every year over a 3 days. Everyone dresses up in 40's, 50's and 60's clothing and the whole site is transformed back to those eras. You can watch racing on the track with genuine vintage cars and motorcycles, raced by professional racing drivers and riders and also celebrities. You can get into the paddock and up close to the action. An experience like no other.

Perched above the bustling concourse of Charing Cross Station, this elegant clock has silently marked the passage of time for generations of Londoners and travelers alike. More than a mere timepiece, it stands as a sentinel to history, witnessing moments both grand and everyday.
Notably, on 26 December 1918, the clock looked on as President Woodrow Wilson arrived at Charing Cross Station, greeted by King George V—a historic meeting commemorated by a plaque beneath the clock.
Charing Cross Station itself, opened in 1864, was designed by Sir John Hawkshaw and served as a pivotal terminus connecting London to the southeast and continental Europe. Its forecourt features the Queen Eleanor Memorial Cross, a Victorian homage to the original 13th-century monument, symbolizing the station’s deep-rooted historical significance.
Today, while trains come and go beneath its gaze, the clock remains a steadfast emblem of Charing Cross’s enduring legacy.

Surplombant l’effervescence de la gare de Charing Cross, cette horloge élégante marque silencieusement le passage du temps pour des générations de Londoniens et de voyageurs. Bien plus qu’un simple instrument de mesure, elle est le témoin discret de l’histoire, observant des moments tantôt grandioses, tantôt quotidiens.
Le 26 décembre 1918, elle assista à l’arrivée du président Woodrow Wilson, accueilli par le roi George V—une rencontre historique immortalisée par une plaque située sous l’horloge.
La gare de Charing Cross, inaugurée en 1864 et conçue par Sir John Hawkshaw, fut un terminus essentiel reliant Londres au sud-est de l’Angleterre et à l’Europe continentale. Son parvis abrite la Queen Eleanor Memorial Cross, une réinterprétation victorienne du monument du XIIIe siècle, soulignant l’importance historique du site.
Aujourd’hui, tandis que les trains défilent sous son regard, l’horloge demeure un emblème immuable de l’héritage de Charing Cross.
Happy Bench Monday!
Housed in the beautifully preserved Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Station, Grand Concourse represents an unmatched dining experience and a historical excursion. Constructed in 1901 and still possessing the original look, the station’s accents of brass, marble and mahogany create Pittsburgh’s most unique and grandeur dining experience.
Just a manipulation of this exclusive building repositioned to a new spot of my preference.
About The Concourse
The Concourse is a 41-storey office tower. It stands out from afar due to its remarkable design, with its exceptional use of glass and angles. The building is visually stunning with a spectacular 5-storey atrium lobby, one of the grandest in Singapore.

One final photo from my trip to St Pancras in November (I'm pretty sure it's final as I only discovered this one by mistake when formatting a memory card).
Oh yes... and HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
It’s 8.33 on a chilly Thursday evening at Waterloo Station in London – Britain’s busiest railway station. Happily, tonight there are no cancellations, no delays, no special notices; all’s well on the travel front as passengers go about their usual routines.
This is the Concourse complex at Perimeter Center just north of Atlanta. It was a foggy morning, but it made for interesting things to see for this country boy while out on a morning run. GOPR4140-1DCIM\106GOPRO\GOPR4140.

The new King's Cross station, London. Reminds me of the alien mothership in "Independence Day"....great film.
The West & East buildings of National Art Gallery are connected by a walkway beneath 4th street, called "the Concourse" on the museum's map. In 2008, the National Gallery of Art commissioned American artist Leo Villareal to transform the Concourse into an artistic installation. Today, Multiverse is the largest and most complex light sculpture by Villareal featuring approximately 41,000 computer-programmed LED nodes that run through channels along the entire 200-foot (61 m)-long space.[10] The concourse also includes the food court and a gift shop.
