The Oculus is the main station house of what is now known as the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, a terminal on the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) system. At 800,000 square feet, this space features a mezzanine, retail space, and access to the station's four underground platforms. In addition to this interior, the Oculus is known for its stark white, sculptural entryway. Together, these spaces perfectly balance function and form—one of Calatrava's key concerns when designing the site.
The Oculus represents the most integrated network of underground pedestrian connections in New York City.
The Oculus is the World Trade Center transportation hub in Lower Manhattan. The glass-and-steel structure, opened to the public in 2016, was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
Early Sunday morning at the Oculus transport hub in New York, before the crowds appear. This beautiful building, designed by the famous Santiago Calatrava, is located in the area of the former Twin Towers.
The Oculus in New York City is well-photographed (for good reason). It's very cool to see in person. I like how it has a vanishing point feel.
The Oculus Transport Hub in NYC, designed by Calatrava, is one of those places where I just couldn't stop photographing. All those white lines are just beautiful I think.

13-shot panorama of the whole of the Oculus at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City.
Someone pointed out to me that this perhaps looks a little anatomical. Now I can't unsee that.
The morning sun cuts through the skyscrapers to cast light on Santiago Calatrava's fabulous Oculus. This building is the transport hub at the world trade centre; mired in controversy (the $4bn price tag for the Oculus and adjoined train station being part of that), this is an astonishing piece of architecture from the inside out.
Another shot of the Oculus, on the site of Ground Zero. Prefer my previous ones but couldn't stop taking pictures every time I passed it. Amazing building.
Based on some feedback and my warped sense of mind, here is my version of my Oculus capture taken on the coast of Oregon, and combining it with one of my captures there at Crater Lake (technically all happened in Oregon, therefore it stays in Oregon ..)
Took the image posted below and converted to B&W, then applied a small amount of warming tint to simulate the full moon light spilling over the scene, and then took the night sky from Crater Lake and made that into the sky through the rock openings.
Thoughts ... if someone lives out there, this could be a fun capture to try for real, but need some moonlight, stars, and low tide!!!! all to happen at the same time ... with clear skies.
