I've had the exact same experience as Kees regarding this capture.
It grabs me every time with its timeless presence in sepia. A powerful capture that will displace any boomer worth their salt. I smell an old Buick on a day too hot and don't have the energy to take the goat's-head out of my sock. The taste of dust from the lot, vacant too long, conveys only an evident wisp of activity from better times. g
It is quite strange, I have ben admiring this shot for a long time but keep on following my guts to the ballet shots. The architectural shots are great and yeah, this would also be one of my favourites.
Excellent photo. This sepia tone adds a lot. My vote.

A classic shot ,i wonder how i missed this one though i´ve been through many of your galleries,amazing work, great tone used and no matter how often you see this picture this one of those pics which draws your attention everytime you see it . there is something always new in it.
I collect movie theater images, oadside images from postcards of the 1930's -1960's. This is truly a fantastic image!!!!! One of the best on thsi site.

Can you tell me what tool in Photoshop (i assume) you used to darken the sky at the top of the pic? Looks fantastic!

Sad to see this in such disrepair, but it does make an excellent photo. :-) Makes you wonder what it was like during its heyday. Well done. Voted.
