This building no longer exists, it is extinct and has been destroyed.

I like the feeling of this shot. Would have liked a little bit more in the foreground to increase the imact of it being vacant.

I like the building! Couldn't you have sawn down that light pole before you took the shot? LOL ;-) The slogan is Great. Good job.

I just love this picture. I love how you fill the whole frame with the building. I think the stop sign in the lower left corner is perfect because it gives you a sense of how big the building is. This is one of my favorites in the challenge. It stands out, even amongst 498 entries. Good luck!!!! 10

This is different...It kind of makes me wonder what kind of building this was, it is so big. Its neat and I like how you took it so close, also the colors are very nice. Nice shot
