Napoleon Plaza, railway station entrance (Theme Day: My Superpower)


A view of the entrance to Wynyard railway station from Napoleon Plaza, on the corner of Napoleon Street and Kent Street. The large glass awning covers stairs and escalators down to the pedestrian tunnel called Wynyard Walk which links Barangaroo to Wynyard railway station. A glass lift is on the right and the Western Distributor off ramp is above. My Superpower for theme day is taking a photo without any people around. I wait around until all the people have moved out of shot to get that perfect photo.
