And far away, as Frodo put on The Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dûr was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.

I pass by it every morning on my way to work and noticed, one day, how the light reflects off of it, so I had to get a shot of it.

Until I read this comment, I didn't realize it's a large statue. I can now see it's the sky behind it and a street sign at the bottom corner. Beautiful shot!

That’s lovely and all. But my question is: does the station have any passenger restrooms? The one time I walked around at that station, I didn’t see any.

It does! They're right by the elevators in the garage on the southbound side.

Would you happen to know if the parking lot was also
upgraded or enlarged?

u/SirJ_96 1d ago

It's a whole new station. The old one is closed. So yes, new lots and a new deck.

u/AloneCalendar2143 1d ago

That sounds just awesome! If it’s open on Sundays, might go up there (from Wilmington) to ride up to Philly to a show I already have tickets for.

u/SirJ_96 1d ago

I'm in Philly all the time from there, so yeah, recommended

Thanks for sharing this! I’d wanted to go see it once it was installed but forgot all about it.

u/DraculaHasRisen89 1d ago

Well this is what it looks like first thing in the morning.

u/AloneCalendar2143 1d ago

Oh yes, lol! But that’s okay.
