Municipal Architecture [Explore 14.07.2024]

            Vienna's City Architect, Otto Wagner, was an important figure in the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of his many lasting achievements was the meticulous design of the city's municipal rail service, known as the "Stadtbahn", or as older Viennese used to say, the "Elektrische". The system as he had planned it was largely in operation into the 1980s. In the meantime it has been modernised and integrated into the underground railway network. However most of the station buildings have been lovingly restored and are still in use today, featuring as landmarks in the city and suburbs.

Here a view taken in our local station.

Super Takumar 55mm f:1.8
PENTAX K-1

Processed for Sliders Sunday.
Digital processing in the camera, using the "Sketch Filter".
Further processing in SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 9, my digital darkroom.

Interestingly, the Sketch Filter creates massive files, which often look mushy on a small monitor, but when enlarged they can reveal enormous detail. Not every image lends itself to this treatment.

Please view "Large" - if possible on a laptop or computer monitor, and then zoom in  to see the detail that the Sketch Filter recovers from the original image. 

By the way, the wood-grain on the doors is not real. It is however a part of the architecture and was lovingly repainted by hand, with a technique using combs, when the station was last restored.
