News Flash! Metz Station is really cool! (Seven previously unpublished photos)

1 Comment

Located in the north of France, Metz is an industrial city with a long history.

I’ll admit, I’d never given the place much thought until I had to change trains there in late April (2016).

Not only was the old city centre visually fascinating, but the railway station is a real gem!

That’s the great part about exploring without an agenda; you find wonderful things you really didn’t expect to see!

I made these images over the course of my brief visit using my Lumix LX7 and FujiFilm X-T1 digital camera (fitted with 12mm Zeiss Touit lens).
