The demise of the shop front by helenhall

The demise of the shop front

We are on week 3 of the 2020 52 week challenge and this week's theme is architecture.

So I took a walk around town the other day (in a rare spell of relative dryness) to see what architecture I could find.

Some of our shop fronts really do need an uplift.

I am thankful that not everything in town looks like this. Most of the buildings are in reasonable shape although we have little of significant interest architecturally. There are too many empty units though, and with both Beales and Debenhams under threat, and M&S already having gone (not to mention BHS, Dorothy Perkins, and many other casualties along the way) the way ahead for the town centre isn't very clear.
Great shot and title.

Strong minimalism, with great use of textures to add interest.

Stunning image and it works so well in b&w to let the textures really pop

Nice minimal approach to capturing architecture- the pigeon seems to be ok with the empty stores! That is the case with homes in our community- a lot of them are empty right now.

Decay has its charm in photography. Less in real life, and believe me as a Roman citizen, I know what I’m saying!

Great capture

Love the texture that you have captured

Love both the minimalism and how the black area of the building balances the bird.
