I often pass by when driving. Today I happened to walk along side it and I had a different feeling about it. Not a pleasant feeling.

I like the shot, Neil. The austerity of the building is probably appropriate for a jail, but for me it evokes the ironically named 'Ministry of Love' in "1984" by George Orwell.

Not a pleasant feeling? ... Imagine the feeling on the other side of those walls ... B&W seems very fitting for such a place.

Certainly not built to please the eye. A feeling of despair and anguish here. Very effective in b&w.

Nice graphics and the gray tones are apt for a jail. V

A place I don't wish to spend time in. :)) Nice capture,Neil.Those narrow windows would make escape pretty difficult..
