With the simplicity and the two doors, this almost reminds me of Shaker architecture. Somebody at that post is very pleased by symmetry .....

Nice symmetry and balance. Again - that surprise white..standing out so strongly against a field of greys.

This is cool Grant. I really like the odd symmetry of the door, and of course the shadows in the foreground.

Nice symmetry with the central placement of the doors. Excellent processing and finished product.

The two doors seems strange to me as well. The shadows are cool.

What an oddity ....a small storage type building with two doors and so small for a place like that :) Cool shot!

Symmetry is always good as far as I'm concerned. Nicely composed. Now, which is in and which is out?

Looks like modesty.

I don't know what kind of organization this is, but looks like it's a very very humble organization. Good shot.

Something very forlorn about this – does not seem a fitting place for people who have seen extraordinary events – the symmetry with its slight variations is interesting to examine and dwell on. I like it a lot.

the whole place/image feels very humble and that feeling reminds me of veterans i've known.

Agree with lambspun about those two doors. You think there are two separate offices or apartments in this small structure? And if so, why?

@Mindy | f-stopMarin: this is a meeting place for the vfw. no idea why the two doors. i'm only out this way on the weekends, but i've never seen anyone entering or leaving (either door).
