WROCŁAW, POLAND / 2008

DISCOVERED from a multi-country voyage in 2008, where I captured Lost Melody and Steel Upward, this gem screamed for attention. And not just a little. As not only my first dyptich, but also my only foray into a B&W panoramic edition [thus far], it's a joy to introduce this.

WROCŁAW MAIN STATION, southwest Poland. A mid 19th-century project brought to fruition by 1857 and regarded as one of the largest construction projects in Europe during the German Empire's rule. High halls and platforms of wrought iron construction, reminiscent of scenes from war films in industrial nations.

QUICK FACTS

- my first diptych (two panels) and only foray into black & white thus far
- Polish resistance forces attacked Nazi troops at the station in 1943
- shortly after, when Nazi Germany fell in WWII, the station was given back to Poland and renamed Wrocław Główny (originally Breslau Hauptbahnhof)
- the station has been undergoing major revitalization since 2010, two years after my visit
- Wrocław is pronounced Brah-tswahff; the "r" is long and rolled, like in French
- 11 platforms, 13 tracks
