Very nice high contrast processing here, and good composition. Feels abandoned for sure.

Another excellent submission, Martin. Tones are superb and I love the composition in this image. Including the bit of failing roof works very well and the chained together ramshackle front doors are visually arresting. The bit of what I'm guessing is tresspass discouraging stones along with the weeds proliferating in what was once a front approach also seal the theme. The bit of makeshift fencing is truly icing on the cakes. A wonderfully suitable title really puts the cherry on top. Excellent entry!
