The Waiting Station

Monrovia's train station has long stood idle, and despite its modest size and condition, the building still has a certain charm and character that many hope will be preserved when the redevelopment finally comes. I almost didn't take this photo (since I was shooting into the sun) but, amazingly, my little Canon Powershot managed to capture the subtlety of color in the weathered surfaces (click on photo to see larger image). Oddly enough, it almost looks like a miniature in this photo.
