Really like the almost 2-dimensional feel of this one, which is then interrupted by the long shadow.

That elegant W seems out of place. Good find.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

A rather strange building with a neoclassical doorway, and a facade of marble slabs surrounded by brickwork. The image is excellent. I wonder what kind of business they run.

@Observing: thanks. no idea what kind of business it is. it's in a part of town where most businesses are warehouses and factories - that is, not places that would receive customers. so the bit of decoration was unusual.

I really like your use of light and shadows in this.

Uhh, I can almost feel the sun burning on those old buildings. Great capture.

a very barren facade here! and the neo-classical architecture is rather out of place in this semi urban local -- however for this pic it is quite an intriguing detail! :) my favorite is the telephone pole / shadow that leads you right into the pic as well as the thin wires that make their way left across the frame. a solid, yet delicate piece!
