beautiful forms and shapes here Grant -- and why do i think of the cartoon series of the 'Jetsons' when i look at this? ;) beautiful shot -- quite mysterious!

@dj.tigersprout: someone else mentioned that same thing dj. i guess that spire (which is from the pre-church days) has a bit of a jetsons feel!

I like the combination of lights and shadows as well the curves and corners. Wonderful photo as usual.

I'm sorry, it's a what? a church/bank? although I would definitely call some churches banks I'm not certain that's what you're implying. Also, what is with the ufo on the roof? weirdest looking satellite dish I ever saw. Very strange building, the angle of that roof, so pitched.

@lisa v: lisa, i'm not making some sort of social comment. this building was originally a bank. it now, as best i can tell, functions as both. (a real time saver if you think about it.)

wonderful photo Grant. the Diana is a great camera. Well done here. Crazy angles, light, shadow and subject.

@Matt Sutton: i do like the diana. it's even a bit less predictable than the holga though, in my experience.

Very special architecture and forms are so 60's. Great!

A very odd structure - and reminiscent a bit of 1950ties sci-fi movies. Great take on it. The strong lights and darks bring out its odd shape and create an unreal atmosphere - terrific!!

This one has a strange eeriness about it. I kept on imagine that I am looking for a piece of clue to a puzzle or a mystery. A church and bank combo? Where is the Starbucks :) I love it!

@Howard F.: there was a gas/convenience store next door, but it's closed. thanks howard.

With all this financial turmoil, let's Pray that our money is safe.
I like this one Grant, looks like a design that went wrong. Super graytone.

A church and a bank combined? How totally wild...and yes, I think of George Jetson immediately!

Love the angles and shapes! I like how there seems to be 3 different contrasting parts. The bottom, the roof and the top of the roof.

Looks like someone's vision of the future from back in the 60's. Another effective use of DOF.
