This is an interesting one. There is an odd window in the corner that's partially covered by the 'tires' building. Are 'tires' the same as 'tyres' ? There's a curious bracket on the roof of the tire building- its function? I'm asking lots of questions and that's why its a great image.

@RHYS: thanks rhys. if 'tyres' are what go round and round on cars, then yes. i think there's probably a garage door marked 'oil,' for oil changes, and maybe one more. the bracket is almost certainly the remaining one of two that held up a basketball backboard and hoop.

I like the leaves on the floor and the wonderful sky beyond -- this yard seems very closed in and the sky is a reminder of the freedom outside.

I like the composition you choose with the clouds which seems to escape from the frame

I do not really like about lean-tos that do not harmonize with the original buildings. But in your pictures, it will be spectacular with these different additions. Nice photo as usual.

@Nilla: thank you nilla. i'm guessing visual harmony was low on the list of priorities at this business...

This is a very interesting picture of this add-on building. Apparently the builder chose this odd placement of the addition without regard for the window. Fine print quality.

@Don Wiley: thanks don, and i'm pretty sure you're right about the thinking that went into this construction.

There are a lot of very different elements in this composition that come together in a very unique way. Great angles colliding as well as nature and architecture. Really nice.

Nicely done Grant . Exposure is very good considering the bright white you had to deal with .

I'm so envious - - - where to you keep those skies you keep finding??? Excellent!

@Stephen Phillips: thanks stephen. the weather changes here every five or ten minutes, so, with a little patience...

I like the little details in this so very much – the thingamajig on the roof, the tank in the corner and the tires sign. And of course everything juts up against each other in a most interesting fashion. And the viewer facing the corner is a nice effect.

I would wager that the leaves here have not been disturbed by anything but the wind for a long time! Marvelous clouds and great composition Grant!

lets just build here over a window. amazing. are these builing used?

@Matt Sutton: it's hard to tell matt. i took this (and many other of my pictures) on a sunday, in an area that i never see during regular working hours. probably yes, but it would be no surprise if this or some of the others were out of business.

A fine shot showing what appears to be a garage or repair shop...? I really like the light, very nice Grant.

@Observing: thanks mike, and you're right.

So neglected. Those leaves will hide a multitude of spiders and the possibility of a snake come warmer temps.

Love the amazing number of patterns and lines in this image. Great angle for this shot, interesting composition.

The assortment of lines here is so intriguing. Different shapes and sizes but yet they all meld together perfectly. Great composition.

I like the composition, which closes us in and makes us meditate on the detritus on the ground and the lack of any exit. A powerful piece of work.

Amazing construction job- I wonder what the view is like looking through that window being cut off at the end ;)
