Lovely winter sun feeling - it even makes the rather ruined looking place have almost a cheerful air about it.

It's gonna need more than a bucket of paint! Great composition and exposure Grant!

@RHYS: bet it's a bargain...
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
When I die I'm going to leave enough money to buy people in Kansas City some other color than white paint for the buildings. ;)

@GJC: you never know, this could be bright yellow, light pink, pale blue... (it's white).
Robert from Kingsville, Canada
Still laughing at GJC's comment about all that white paint ! It' a requirement for b&w photography I think . Nicely captured image Grant .

@Robert: the white buildings do seem to shout out...
Polydactyle from Montréal, Canada
Nice! This like the garage where a repair my car. I buy it!

@Polydactyle: thanks - how's your car running?

A corner garage door seems unusual to me. I like the proximity to the bail bond place which has a marvelous barbed wire protection...Let's see the bad guys are still in jail when relatives come to get a bond...so are we keeping people out...or in? :-)

I am very fond of the contrats with the black side on the leftand the white part on the right, as usual the composition is perfect

I love the way snow adds a new dimension to b/w. Great capture.

Great askew angles and plain bold signs in various directions. But it is the sun squarely hitting that garage door that creates the mood and feel of this image. The complex composition and the sense of the winter sun are visually very gratifying.

@daina: thanks daina. you might enjoy a bit of trivia - this place is about a mile from harry s. truman's onetime home.
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Looks like nothing is going to 'bail out' this business. Nicely seen, Grant.

Great contrast, beautiful exposure!
