    Wow. And unmistakably during daylight hours. Kind of spooky, really.

    Beautiful, magnificent Grand Central. You do not often see it like this. Haunting in some ways; it was designed for people and with Hurricane Irene, it has become sadly empty and almost melancholy.

    A photographer's dream to take a photo like this... nobody inside, peaceful, tranquil, (creepy, and) beautiful.
