 Old Drink Vending Machine in front of an old decrepit building - Narashino, Chiba, Japan.

I first passed by this one up close and laughed that someone had put an empty box of cigarettes in place where the drink cans would be displayed on top. I didnt really see the shot there until I crossed the street. I found the scene compelling and hope it is well received.

Alright I'm back to bump this one up a notch. Love the colors, and crazy enough I love its crookedness.

Nice formal image. I'd like to see it in different light since there's such an absence of color.

This is possible not very DPC but I like it! The rotten down building looks great, the broken vending machine fits in nicely. Great composition.
