what a shot, love the angle and you've got to love the signage. Not many customers! Is it derelict? or just out of hours?

@rhys: no, just closed for the day. i'm sure it's plenty popular.

The dirt on these whitewashed brick walls creates such cool patterns and textures when captured on film. I'm glad nobody is cleaning them.

I'd like to give "Quicks" A first-hand try! Nice shot of their good use of the big, blank white wall to have this advertisement.

Great composition all the way around. Makes me hungry for some pulled pork! Nice work.

I have in mind the pic of Lorraine, probably a great serie to do in this way in your region, really interesting for the memory

As usual you have some cool shadows.... the one across the door looks like a gallows !

Quick's it is next time I want BBQ! I like the perfect exposure for the white wall and how that has affected the black and gray tones. Nice capture Grant!

@Bill: i haven't tried this one bill, but it looks promising.

Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United States

omg, somebody stabbed the cook in the stomach!!!

I like the trash can at center stage. Full of dirty white napkins and plastic forks, doubtless.

Earl looks like he could be Bob's Big Boy's cousin (www.bigboy.com). Fun capture.

@Mindy | f-stopMarin: you're right. although i'd say maybe dad.

michele from Canada

i totally don't get the BBQ thing with you - but that's quite fine - i'm sure there are some of mine you don't get either - and i don't mind if you say.
