Cool! Like the look of the blocks, the windows and the old door and its shadow. Maybe this was an old feed store? Great image Grant!

@Bill: thanks bill. your guess makes sense. not much need for that sort of business in that neighborhood now i suppose.

Buildings sealed up like this make me wonder what sort of cool time capsule is inside. Great shot.

Funny how I try to see human faces made by the windows and doors in this picture. I like the strong contrast and the shadows.

I like the way they've thought "Oh what the hell, just paint the whole lot white". What lurks beyond?

Love it - a straight on image but the road slopes and the windows are not aligned and then there is this dark spill...

The textures are superb! The lines from the structure itself and from the window and door frames add a unique view!

Nice 'jail'! What a curious building because the windows are all boarded up and why is the door so high from the ground? Anyway, good lines and comp.

ooh -- this shot gives a very 'solid' and strong impression -- the word that first comes to mind is 'fortress' followed by 'impenetrable'!!! i especially love the dark stain (of course) and the mottled, natty grasses -- marvelous!!
