Not So Grand Entrance

This is an old building that I sometimes walk by on my work lunchtime walk

I've no idea what it is used for now. It may even be empty.

It featured on my 365 in March 2014, on a mobile phone shot. This shot was on my panasonic TZ7. I straightened the converging verticals in GIMP and added some Dynamic Range filters in G'MIC

Great shot! So much to look at and like, the weeds in the corners of the steps, the cracks in the brickwork, the bars/wire on the windows and thats before the obvious ones like the peeling paint!!! FAV

Love the symmetry and composition, and the rich tones!

Looks like it was a grand building in its days, Phil. A beautiful capture of it and I like the tones.

[Matt Clendon]

Still quite grand in its way though.

[Pat Knowles]

Well I think this building is due for a full refurb & all those beautiful windows appreciated as they should be! A very daring colour of door!
