Mono and/or Colored? Haarlem Station

One of the first questions I had buying my first digital DSLR was ‘how do I shoot monochrome photos from now?’. In the past it was just choosing what film I put in a camera. Going digital implied using editing to revert from color to monochrome. More recently black and white modes came back on devices. Not only on iPhone. My choice for Nikon Zf was influenced by it. But it all is a question of taste.

The same photo of the station of Haarlem in color and (edited) monochrome. Pick one or both.

Another one for Weekly Sky Challenge #2. Everywhere in my flat home country the horizon is low, so we see skies all the time. Skies over The Netherlands.
