Beautifully framed. I like the starkness of it with those windows.

Excellent composition and, as usual, the tonality is also.

great mix of the pale building features and the darker shadows, cool (in the minimal sense of the word).

It seems to be made up of lots of different rectangular forms and frames. The diagonal shadow breaks it up and leads my eye to the circular shape on the wall. It feels very quiet and peaceful yet slightly eerie just because it's so quiet.

Well done. The intersecting lines and geometry are well captured.

I like the dreamy quality of the light in these back streets and areas. The texture of the forgotten walls of the factories and warehouses, the way shadows and shades intermingle, join, distort, separate, the loneliness and sense of solitude. Your imagery conveys all this so very well.

@Richard_Irwin: thanks richard. you've described better than i ever could what i like about these old industrial places.

An image so full of interest from textural variances to light and shadow play. Stunning in mono

A fine composition with nice windows and down spouts. I like the texture of the walls too. Nice one.

You are one subtle fellow Grant! I am tired and can't spell it all out, but it is always so satifying to look at one of your images!

Good lines and repeating shapes. I am surprised to see the concrete and rock combination at the bottom while the heavier masonry blocks stacked on top... Is this image upside down??!!? Cool shot.

An image tri-fecta, Grant - geometry, light, and shadow. Well done.

Good asymmetrical balance. Interesting how you use shadows to connect foreground to background.

Great texture. Almost so textured as to be flat and two dimensional.
