Central Station, Baku, Aerbaijan


I am very keen on stations and visit the main one in every capital city. Sometimes they are great (Budapest, London, Paris, Sydney, Washington DC) and other times disappointing or looking rather sad (Buenos Aires, Belgrade, Istanbul, Penn in NY), but usually interesting. And certainly the place to see down and out souls. Here are some shots of Baku's old main railway station - strong Islamic architectural influence, as you can. And a nice shot of me and the president. Do I look presidential?
