Nice photo, but I have to say, that building hurts my eyes and makes my skin crawl...
just not my kind of architecture.

Youth Service ... what I see is Grant serving the finest photography. Perfect piece of art, Grant. A stunning frame, killer light, terrific point of view, brilliant photograph! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

What charming little boxing building. Charming and boxing might not go hand-in-hand, but I really think this is a charming little brick building. Nice find.

The light and shadows are so excellent in this shot. The structure itself is so 'boxy' which makes me smile reading it's a fitness and 'boxing' centre. Love the curve of the road in the foreground and how it takes away from all the square of the structure.
