Victoria Terminus, Mumbai, India, 2008

The British built Victoria Terminus in 1888. Today it is the most impressive example of Victorian Gothic architecture in India. A statue of “Progress” crowns its colossal dome. I used a medium 140mm focal length to reach up and relate the statue to other elements on the roof of the terminal, including the Indian flag.

This was an amazing building, Khang -- incongruous in its own right. The low perspective and telephoto compression intensify the exaggerations here.

Amazing architecture. Good angle.
