Waiting for the L

This is one of the oldest L stations in Chicago's loop (downtown commercial district). Photo taken during our international meetup last month, but just getting to process many of them now. I liked all the wood in the station - and the replicas of old posters and architectural elements. (Over)processed from 3 bracketed images.
