Someone's dream restaurant one day, perhaps. I like the placement of the bush, something organic.

thats a restaurant? looks more like some kind of correctional facility! The powerlines add a certain perplexity- power to a shut down operation.

@rhys: i'm guessing the quality of the food was just about the same as a prison!

I like the electric line which makes a very attractive curve and I like the attractive clouds in the sky...

since arriving from the UK i've always wondered why so little is made of the exterior of restaurants, seemingly all the money spent on the interior: why did anyone think a view like this would entice people in? good work as ever.

@david: this is an old 'long john silver's' - closed now. i don't think it was any better on the inside. :)

A restaurant that seems to leave us on our appetite. Great strong graphism.

Probably closed because it doesn't have windows! Strange. Beautifully composed and what a fantastic sky you had!

A wonderful sky full of clouds in this shot. It's my favorite part.

Love the curve of the power lines against the straight lines of the building. Nice work.

LJS? I like their food! LJS has been out of business here in So.Cal. way before the recession. Don't know what happened to them. Perhaps they've neglected to spruce up the restaurants' exterior? Really beautiful sky.

@Howard F.: seriously? i have to admit (after bashing the place) that i haven't tried it - the name, their ads... the place makes me a bit nervous.

Is that stuccoed over brick? Looks like a pattern underneath.

@dik: it would surprise me if this place was that substantial.

i'm sure this photograph is not really just about the yucca plants but looking at this makes me think about how long it's been since i've seen yucca's this big. (at least i think they're yuccas)

I see the amazing clouds and the amazing fact there is no windows on this building (well two sides at laeast) i like the contrast in that fact

No windows and so uninviting. This really is an emotive shot.
