Serendipity, an accidental discovery.
Today was a crazy day at work, a long day which included over 9 hours straight in meetings. So I didn't even have a few minutes at lunch to go scouting. I also knew that I would not have a lot of time in the evening due to other personal meetings. This didn't worry me much as I had an ' emergency' blue-themed idea I could execute on short order.
I did try that idea and the images were okay, but I think I could do better. However, when I loaded up my images from my memory card I received a surprise.
There were a few images there that I grabbed as I ran through Union to catch the train. In the great hall, there is this huge window which faces west. We were into twilight at the time - sometimes called blue hour. This window has a tinge of blue but it is also washed with sodium vapour lighting which is very very yellow. I thought maybe if I colour corrected it might look cool.
What I am posting today is the result; serendipity blue. By the way, luck favours the prepared.

Where was this picture taken? Very nice!
This was taken in the Great Hall of Union Station, looking to the west from the stair well area.
