Physical Graffiti III

Continuing my series on our favorite condemned building ... this morning I found access for a side view. I also learned that demolition is emminent! So I better take more shots. (Looks Best Large)

[Paul]

wow Michael, these are gorgeous tones. Fav!

[John]

Love the texture of the bricks and the lighting great capture.

[Howard Steele]

very nice angle and shot

[Sheila Coates]

This is stunning! Warm light on the dark walls show the textures to perfection. Take lots of shots before this wonder is demolished!

[Melissa Pike]

Another fantastic angle on this building! I hate it when my favorite old buildings are scheduled for demolition. It'll be sad to see this one go! :(

[Paula]

Oh for the love of.....would you stop it? This rocks.

[Michael Elliott]

@pwallis - hahaha thx so much :-)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful lighting in this. Excellent capture.

[Holly Anna Schwartz]

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

[Michelle]

Love the texture and light on those old walls!

[Ellen Young]

The details , textures and lighting are just incredible..I feel like Im on the sidewalk..looking up at the fire-escape's... boy do they bring back memories of my childhood...i used to sit outside my Grandparents kitchen window and people watch all the time..Great Capture Michael!

[Olga]

I love it (I have "a thing" with shadows...so, a fav)
wonderful capture :)

[marlboromaam]

Oooo! I have to FAV this!!! Eye candy galore with luscious textures and tones of color. GREAT shadows, too! May I pin it, please?

Also, I just wonder what this would look like in black and white for the artist challenge.... ::Hint:: I bet it would be a hit!

Great textures! I want to reach out and touch those bricks!

These bricks from the past, may hopefully be recycled in to a structure for the future, or maybe some good home-made barbecue pits

[Alison Tomlin]

[paula goff]

the shadows are perfect for the subject

[Harry J Benson]

[Brian Baptie]

The lighting is great Michael. Fav.

[BeckyS]

Cool shot!

[Ken Lemieux]

Glad it isn't the real building. It is a beauty though. They rarely tear anything down in Detroit. Land is not so valuable.

[Seth Tan]

Love the texture in this shot. You captured it beautifully, Michael

[Ken Lemieux]

Awesome light BTW

[karenann]

What a beautiful play of light and shadow. Pure genius. That what YOU are. The photo is a winner. FAV!

@karenann - thank you so much Karenann. You're too kind! While walking to my office I noticed the light/shadow and it was changing fast so I made quick work for the capture.

[Kass]

I'm so loving everything - love the texture, love the shadows, love the light, adore all those windows. Can you say Fav? ;-)

[Kass]

@pwallis Haha, that's what I say everytime I see Michael's project. @michaelelliott Come on Michael, let us down a little bit. ;-)

[Michael Elliott]

@russianblue - hahaha you're too kind. Thank you very much. One of these days .... I'll surprise you :)

[Elizabeth Goodine]

There is something intense about this. Love it!

[Charlene Barker]

Fascinating shot, but where is this building.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot! You are so brave to enter that building. I'm a chicken when it comes to going that far.

[Mr. T]

Cool. Hope to see a few more before it goes down.

[Aleksandra]

Great shadows and light! The textures in this are brilliant!

[Jeff Walker]

I don't even know where to begin... how about I just say "FAV" ?

[Skip Tribby]

I really like how the light brings out the texture of the bricks!

[Linda Lorraine]

Great light and textures. Very interesting. Always sorry to see an old one go.

[Paul Myers]

Oh yeah. Definitely looks better large. I like the fire escape hidden in the shadows.
