Earlier this week I had the chance to walk through the Oculus down at Ground Zero here in Manhattan. It's a stunning space and far grander than an iPhone snap can capture.
I'll be back with my ultra wide lens and see what I can do to try and photograph the space in a way that conveys how you feel when you are standing there.
If you're interested, here's some more info about the Oculus pulled from their website...
"The state-of-the-art World Trade Center Transportation Hub, completed in 2016, serves 250,000 Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) daily commuters and millions of annual visitors from around the world.
At approximately 800,000 square feet, the Hub, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, is the third largest transportation center in New York City.
The Hub's concourse will ultimately connect visitors to 11 different subway lines; the PATH rail system; the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal; the National September 11 Memorial & Museum; World Trade Center Towers 1, 2, 3, and 4; and Brookfield Place (formerly known as the World Financial Center), which houses the Winter Garden. It represents the most integrated network of underground pedestrian connections in New York City.
The “Oculus” serves as the centerpiece of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, incorporating 78,000 square feet of multi level state-of-the-art retail and dining. The concourses emanating from the Oculus link the entirety of the site above and below grade. With an additional 290,000 square feet of exciting, multi-level retail and dining space, the World Trade Center site is the focal point of Lower Manhattan."

P.S. Can you see the two guys clinging to the windows in the center strip of glass at the peak of the space? I didn't see them when I was taking this and was surprised to spot them when processing the image. Pretty wild!

Oculus, la gare futuriste de New York
Erigée pour remplacer l’ancienne station de transport détruite lors des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, l’Oculus est une incroyable et grandiose station de transports publics au pied de la One World Trade Center, à seulement deux pas du site des Tours Jumelles. C’est aussi un grand centre commercial très apprécié des shoppers.
