This image is part of an architecture mini-series, my second mini shooting since lockdown. Today there was a beautiful sunny spring morning, streets almost empty, birds singing. I went shooting a new light train station in Geneva- Eaux-Vives station, with colours of hope, which make happy pictures. The construction has been stopped because of the pandemia, but everything is very close to completion. Trains are running, although at a small pace, 2 an hour. Glass walls and floors were designed by Jean Nouvel.
