A view of a garage in a back alley off Oxford St. in London. The bright paint does not hide the rather run down nature of this building.

The color shows nice contrast. 🙂
thanks cocomino – the colour attracted me to take the photo.
When I read the title from the notification, I thought “what kind of flower is a ramshackle?”. All right, learned a new word. 🙂
But that looks exactly as it would look like, if I had to hinge those doors.
Makes a nice picture, though.
thanks Klaus..it is kind of a funny word… 🙂
Reblogged this on The Legion of Door Whores.
I spotted this one earlier on Adrian’s door blog too, love the colours. 🙂
thanks s!
Nicely composed. I like the contrasting mulberry and blue colours
thanks!
It never fails. I see that someone else has used the word ‘ramshackle’ and I think quite indignantly, THAT’S MY WORD. 😉 You know I love shots like this the best–rustic scenes thrill my rustic little heart!
(By the way, Ramshackle Houses will finally be completed this summer.)
oh sorry didn’t know.. ha ha .. but it is a neat word that says it all. I too have a thing for “rustic” especially in the city.
I hope it was clear that I was only pretending to be indignant 🙂
And you do urban rustic very, very well! Shots like this are always a pleasure to view.
but of course… 🙂
You have such a great eye for graphic compositions!
thanks mimo – I do love graphic design
Oh that’s good, Sheila, and unusual too – I very much like the combination of shapes and colours here – almost like a collage – good stuff! Adrian
thanks Adrian – yes, a graphic collage. could not resist.
