Rennes Penal Institution

After a few days of flowers - albeit faded - I decided it was time for something more gritty! This is Rennes prison partially hidden in the middle of an industrial estate, but the observation tower always draws one's attention.

This is definitely a view on black image.

They are everywhere , unfortunately so required .

Very somber!

Great b&w shot that shows the bleakness of the prison...Out of curiosity, I searched and found that WA State has twelve adult prisons 10 male and 2 female.

They look the same all the way round the world!

[Joan Robillard]

You had me worried - lol Great shot

[Babs]

Definitely gritty. Gives me the shivers. I must have been locked up in a previous life.

[Margo Sayer]

Appropriately chilling...reminiscent of GS's genre.

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautifully gritty!

[Helen Sanderson]

yes...not too many images of these on 365. Well captured

[Kathy]

Gritty is the correct term.

[Walks @ 7]

Very atmospheric, wonderful in monotone.

If only you could get the other side of the fence Richard.. I see a whole series of prison shots, done straight and dull in 70s 'deadpan' style! Perfect subject!
