That is one cool building Mike. I hope you were careful while you were out there. They are clearly Not Responsible For Accidents.
Great Photo!

Hi Alex. My wife and I rode our scooters down that way today. Caught a few images. You mean if I cracked up my scooter they wouldn’t have cared? Huh.

Fine shot of a neat little building, Mike! Wondering what the interior looks like….
LikeLike
It is closed with some items still inside. It is clean and well kept.

Sometimes, if you place your lens right against the window, you can get a decent interior shot. I found this out some years ago. You might have to do a little ‘contrast’ adjustment, but it’s usually worth the few extra clicks!
Have a great Sunday out there in the Rockies!

This building is so appealing…..it looks like one of the little pieces in my Christmas Village. So timeless, and I love the colors.

I really liked it also, and I love the comparison to a Christmas village piece. The colors and the fabric of the building is what stopped me.

I love little places like this! It is a lesson in simple complexity. A boring, block building, but then you add the layers of texture and suddenly you can’t stop looking at it. Red brick, weathered green painted doors, professional AND hand-printed signs, and I especially love the faded painted store name on the side (I am assuming it’s the store name).

I have a good shot I will be posting at some point of the other side of the building with hand lettering on brick. I too love this and the light was perfect.
Thanks for commenting Dezra.
