It's great that sometimes some photos are unexpected, it's the good thing about always carrying your camera and being available for a few minutes. Yesterday after leaving work as usual I went down to the subway to take my way back home and while I was changing trains I came across the access to another line that took me to the Perú station, from line A.
It's a station that is a little different or quite different from many, each one has its own appeal but this one in particular has a charm in its design. It has many columns on the platforms.
It's visually very attractive and can be used in different ways to take photos there. At the time of taking this photo in particular, the train was stopped on the other side while the other was approaching from this side, You can see the light from the entering train reflected on the stopped train.
These people could easily be me, I tend to lie down everywhere 😂 Here they say that the person is holding the column, a way of expressing that you have nothing to do.
A very interesting historical fact about this station is that it is more than 100 years old, it was inaugurated in 1913, It was the first line A station to have escalators in 1970 and at the end of the 90s it was declared a national historic monument. There are many details and elements that have been conserved and preserved over time and years, in such a way that some parts of the station remain as they were in 1913.

Some of those details, for example, are objects like this chair. There are some shops also inside the station that preserve this old style, just take a photo which you will see later, but I couldn't take more photos because I needed to go to the other side of the station and I didn't have much time.
Here are some people entering the station, or rather the platform, while others are waiting to get on the train. At that time I had the 85mm lens, very good because it is very bright in that space with reduced light capacity but I would like to make a new visit with other lenses and more time to make a better article and take different photos.
The colors that stand out the most here are orange and brown, I don't know if they are my ideas but you can feel like you are going back in time when you enter here.
Details... one of the railings that prevents the passage to one of the tunnels.
And... This is one of the stores at the station, look at that font that says Watchmaking, How long will that be written there? Well, we can already have an idea with the information I gave you at the beginning.
One of the exit signs towards some of the streets.
Subway and train stations are always addictive to me in this sense. Do you have any idea how many things you can capture there? Moments, emotions, everyday life, it is even so interesting to do a portrait session, which by the way I want to do.
I also have the idea of dedicating some time to show each and every one of the subway stations in Buenos Aires and if possible accompanied with a little history.
I leave you with a couple more takes and I hope you enjoyed this set :)
That's all folks. Thanks for stopping by and appreciating.
