The Oculus
The Bird flying from a child’s hand
The Oculus at the World Trade Center Transportation Center is such a cool building to see
Let me start with a shot inside it from a while back not long after it opened and was fairly quiet in the morning but still a good amount of people heading through there to and from there trains of subway rides
Here is a shot of the Oculus Exterior
It definitely wasn’t ideal light the morning I got this shot but it does give a feel for the cool design of this building
The Oculus Opened on March 4th 2016 and was named the Oculus but also the World Trade Center Transportation Hub has stations for the PATH train from Jersey City and Hoboken as well as a subway stop for a few lines and easy access to the Fulton Station for more lines.
The Oculus was designed by a Spanish Architect Santiago Calatrava and it includes the train Station and a large mezzanine under the September 11 Memorial plaza
The Design apparently is the architects vision is to resemble a bird flying from a child’s hand and from some angles I can see that
This shot shows one of the Wings with the World Trade Center tower 1 in the background
And now lets go back inside the Oculus
I loved the design and light in this corridor
and will finish when I started back in the main Concourse and a more recent photo
And that ends my little post about the Oculus
**Any other sites in NY you would like me to get shots of and do a post let me know in a comment **

Wow, I thought on the first picture that the Interior looks cool but the second picture totally changed my mind.
I think it is a pretty amazing building bot inside and out myself
But you have to agree the outside looks spectacular.
Ohh yes I do I have more shots of it to edit ye from different angles
Wow, that is really cool looking. From the angle, I see it at It looks like the end of a whales tail but I love what the designer had in mind. Great pictures, superb as always.
Thanks for the visit

First time I saw it I thought of a whale tail also
