This photo really has to be enlarged to get the full effect. There's so much to see! I love the girl talking on the phone - she's laughing and obviously having a good time; as are the others.

Looks like a high school field trip!

And what a bench!

People watching and bench watching.

Those are serious bars on the windows.
The one boy found a good bench full of happy girls.

I sat there mad at myself that I hadn't checked beforehand that it would be open. The splendours that are inside...

Those windows are massive!
I'm curious about this building but I imagine they don't allow to take pictures inside, it's a pity...

Looks like they're having a good time. It would be fun to be there at that age.

I always like to see benches in use. Empty benches always seem sort of sad somehow. Those kids look very energetic!

Very imposing windows! Great composition, VP!
