Definitely a new one for me. I don't have a clue as to what this place could be. You keep me on my toes:-) Nice capture, Grant.

Very cool yet again. I tell ya, it's those perfectly straight lines and today I right away see the contrast of the round sun logo.

Brilliant! I have no idea what a Sunfax Center is, but it looks like it's been a while since it faxed any sun. Top shot Grant.

Wonderful Grant. If a photograph was edible this would be. Rich creamy textures. Its alive.

@Matt Sutton: thanks matt - great comment!

My fascination continues. I don't know all the neat things to say... but to me the important thing is I LIKE IT!

I like the simplicity of the photo and the straight lines. Also I do wonder what a sunfax center is . A place to send faxes to sunny places? A place to send faxes whilst you tan? Either one would be a nice idea....

Your photo of these garages is very clean. I like the straight lines.

Fine photo, even if it makes me think humans as a species are just absurd.

I like that you included the diagonal in the foreground which seems to work well with the remainder of the image. Nice one.

It's all been said already. What the heck do they do at SunFax Center? (Could be a fun 20-questions game.) As to the diagonals in the foreground...yup! They add intrigue. What are they for? Not a crosswalk? Don't seem to be on sidewalk? They must mark off some type of area, though. You continue to amaze me.

@Mindy: thanks mindy. i guess i should try to answer the question about this place. i have no idea what kind of business it is. but, it's in an area of town called fairfax. that's where the fax part of the name is coming from. it's an industrial area, and includes a car factory. you're right about the lines - this isn't pedestrian territory. i think they mark where to stop when coming to a stop sign.

I can use some sun Grant;-) Interesting picture. Like the way you give this black and white picture some colour! As usual is the composition very strong and compleet!

What a great name, I don't know what type of business, but it does have an awkward and a catchy name. Looks like it's been closed for a while...

very fast lines here mate -- like how the frame is divided into approximate thirds from top to bottom! the strong perpendicular diagonal at the bottom is wonderfully intriguing... and it anchors the whole shot!! a beauty!!!

another stunning capture, love the way the shot is divided into different areas, the textures and lighting, and I also wonder what they do or did

There is much in this that speaks to me - but nothing with greater voice than that lone weed pushing its form up in front of that center door. Solid image.

@Stephen Phillips: it is something - even in this ocean of concrete, life asserts itself.
