Urban Decór

I've been eyeing this warehouse, which is across the parking lot at Calumet Camera, where I'd bought my D600 that has the horrible sensor oil spot problem. So, today was the first day since getting back I could take it in. They're cleaning it (and my D90 while I was there) but since I would be without both cameras, I took that opportunity to capture this shot before giving them up. It's always intrigued me that whoever owns this warehouse has gone to the trouble to systematically paint key parts of the building in this bright yellow. I'll be back there tomorrow morning, hopefully to hear they've fixed the sensor problem.
BTW, I know today's word was blue, but in the circumstances, yellow is the only thing I could do even close!
cool

Thanks so much for your viewing and comments! I appreciate your commenting on something as lowly as a warehouse image!!

@taffy It's more than that, it's pattern, colour and texture.

The single colour in the grey makes this really interesting as do all the lines and angles. Great architectural shot.

@sugarmuser :-)) I took a photo of this several months ago and am going to try to go back and find it. I know it isn't well captured and I'm thinking it also shows what 365 has taught me about how to frame something.

@taffy Just don't cringe :) like I do when I look back at some of my art work

It's sort of burnt orange and designed to be noticed!

I like it. Great details and the yellow is beautiful.
August 28th, 2013  
Love the yellow
August 28th, 2013  
That is indeed a very unusual solution, maybe they wanted something to cheer them up, lol. Like the bright yellow and the composition.
August 28th, 2013  
cool shot : )

Nice pov showing lots of great lines and angles. I like the bright yellow against the concrete. 365 really does make you look at everything with new eyes!! Hope they sort out your sensor problem.
August 28th, 2013  
Nice find - love all the yellow
August 28th, 2013  
Like the composition and POV Taffy, all those lines and colour.
August 29th, 2013  
Lovely lines and textures -- love the urban vibe.
August 29th, 2013  
Love the lines and bright pops of yellow! And I love your idea on sharing the city like you did with Beaver island. Great find

Nicely captured. The yellow is quite bold.
