Geometric Richness in Kanazawa Station

I posted earlier today about Kanazawa Station (Kanazawa, Japan) and how it does a wonderful job of mixing traditional Japanese with modern lines.

As I mentioned, the entire space is visually, geometrically rich, so I definitely had fun trying to capture interesting angles. The abstract results were sometimes enhanced (I perhaps fool myself by thinking) with some creative post-processing in Adobe Lightroom, to add a bit of an edge.

( How'd you like to calculate the cuts required when building this thing? )

Clearly, this is not my area, photographically speaking, but (photographically speaking) it was quite fun. I just wish that I hadn't been so rushed for time.
