Looks deserted. Hopefully, another business will come in soon. Love the light!

What a fancy shipping/receiving dock! Wonderful find and well done. V

yes the dark shapes on the light building make for a good b/w!

You mean some people ram a building while parking? Very graphical. V
Tom LeRoy05-Jan-2013 17:46
Excellent range of tones, love the repeating bumper stops and the empty spaces. Well done! V.

Wonderful image and reflection of the power lines? v

A fine image with lovely shapes and patterns! There is a mood of abandonment, though I am sure it is not. V
Walter Otto Koenig05-Jan-2013 15:48
Strong atmosphere of loneliness and desolation conveyed in this image. "V"

like the sombre feeling in this capture
Sheila05-Jan-2013 06:33
I can't see the sf effect here. In fact everything has great clarity.
borisalex05-Jan-2013 06:30
Its sad to see what was once a big store, leaving only emptiness behind, and you portrayed with your skillful eyes beautifully! V.
Bryan Murahashi05-Jan-2013 04:24
A very nice b&w to capture the emptiness. V

Great range of tones. Excellent reflections. I agree that it does have a melancholy feel. V

An eloquent photographic tale of a place that was once... "somewhere", and whose future remains to be seen.

Beautiful work! V.
John King04-Jan-2013 22:11
Excellent tones and composition in this. It doesn't look soft focus at all. V
Helen Betts04-Jan-2013 21:50
This seems pretty sad considering it was probably a busy place once upon a time. Very nicely composed and captured. V.
