Office? looks nothing like an office, especially with those ferny type plants around it. Unusual verandha too :) The composition and the beautiful patch of sunlight really make the photo.

You have an eye for abandoned places, Grant. I like the lights on the wall. Well spotted.

I like the hidden-away feeling of this old building in the trees and brush. The light breaking through helps give the shot a nice range of near white to near black. Fine shot.

What a tender image Grant! It is as if you let go of your very strong focus for a bit. Perhaps I am not expressing myself too well here (don't want to be misunderstood) Many of your images are very direct and strong with an uncompromising vision, just like the stark shifts from light to dark - shadow/light in them. But this (even with the strong light shadow component) has a totally different feel. Very lovely...

@daina: it's interesting you would say that. there was something about this place. it was abandoned, but in a way that seemed particularly sad to me.
Bill from Belton, United States
This location looks to actually be abandoned.... unlike most of your images. Great shot that gives one a lot to look at and wonder about.

@Bill: that's exactly right bill. it was a bit eerie in fact.
Lucca from Cologne, Germany
The light and shadows are simply wonderful. I really would like to know if you were waiting for that light.

@Lucca: thanks lucca. in a way i did. we were there for a long time, so i was able to watch it change.

A great find, Grant. I love the trellis and the door with the sunlight streaming on it is exceptional. You were there just at the right time for everything to click.

Love the few streams of light hitting the building through all the over growth, looks very secluded.

@Will Williams: thanks will. it is secluded to the point of being creepy, in my opinion. i've fairly recently gotten a jeep, and i don't think we could have gotten to this place otherwise.

Another impressive transformation from the mundane to the interesting.
