Departures

Sangeeta's parents returned to India today so we dropped them off at Heathrow's Terminal Four for their flight back to Calcutta via Delhi..

We had a few hours to kill so I took myself off on a wander to see if I could get any good shots. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent viewing area of the runway so settled for this pic of the entrance to the departures area.

The lighting was pretty boring so I converted to b&w and liked the dark shades... Also glad to have caught a couple of people to give some scale..

Love airports... Always give me the travel bug...

[Brad Johnson]

Nice. I like the dramatic lighting and the perspective.

[FunnyFace]

Very nice.... and never seen so quiet! Looks great in B&W :-)

[Jenn]

Great high contrast and I'm glad you caught some people in there....I wouldn't have gotten an idea of it's impressive frontage!

[John]

Fab B&W night shot, love the repeating lines

[Phil]

Very dramatic, bet it doesn't look half as smart in daylight, the night and B&W really set off the architecture. Super shot

[judith deacon]

Great B & W shot, I wouldn't have thought of doing that and it works really well.

[peter/zipp]

cool b&w .. liking those lines and the wee peeps wandering.

[Michael Elliott]

Airports always make me cry! I can't cope with Departures and Arrivals set me off too!!

Great airport shot Andy - not sure I've flown out of T4 before (or if I have I've approached from the underground not from the outside!) You can take over the rest of my travels this month if you like...!!
