Didier, I thought the same.
The faceless building face! The gap on the right gives the image room to breath. Along with all the shapes and lines.

This place has turned into a rectangle collection. As always, Grant - spot on values really make this an interesting image.

I always get a kick out of facades where you can see a face. Sponge Bob maybe? ;o)

I was thinking a robots face! The different colors of rectangles really give a wide variety of tones. Very well seen.

It's the "hat" that does it! It is the shape of those paper hats children make by folding newspapers. I tried to not see the face, but it insists on being recognized! Love the hat and the humor. I also like the patch like squares/rectangles which in this context seem hobo like.

Nice B&W. The B&W conversion really brings out that abandoned feel.

@Stunner: thanks stunner (no conversion though - just b&w film)

Even with this all boarded up you still manage to find all these great lines!

I got here late and everyone else has mentioned the building's face. Has a hat, too. Fun shot.

i totally missed the face - was too busy loving the patches of white paint and the seriously abandoned feeling.

@Twelvebit: although this neighborhood has been feeling it for decades...
