my first thought was of The Flintstones! What a dreadfully brilliant building! Top shot!

The contrast of the oldness of the parking area and the newness of the building is great! Lots of cool texture.

Agree with rhys “what a dreadfully brilliant building” It is brilliant because it is so amazingly ugly as if one set out to do ugly. All the different surfaces and textures come through wonderfully in your image and the light is just right to show it in all its glory.

Yes, a dreadful looking building, but such an interesting photo with the clashing shapes and textures. Great find/capture.

Interesting combination of lines...textures shapes and forms. Love the ranges and tones of grey.

@dj.tigersprout: i bet they'd sell this place - cheap. you could realize your vision! the neighborhood's a bit seedy though - bars, liquor stores, creepy motels, adult bookstores...

Look like a perfect spot for an all you can eat catfish joint.

i had some of the same thoughts - Flinstones, architects at the bottom of their class. but beyond this i love how the ground surface is similar to the stone wall surface.

Not sure it would be so ugly without the windows and metallic top --both of which simply do not go with the rock facade.

When your site opened I thought this structure looked familiar. After examining it, I guess it's just the cut stone and not the structure. When stone structures are let go they seem to look worse than some other materials.

Yep! Looks like it had been whipped with an ugly stick! But a perfect candidate for a shot! A total hodge-podge of textures, lines and shadows! I love the mailbox mounting system! As always Grant an amazing image!

This has all the feeling and look to a lounge-bar. I love the flagstone facade and the little shadow it creates at the bottom. Cool find.

Interesting contrast. I love these natural stones which you can find very often in the south of Europe.
