The building is still standing but has started to lean badly in the last couple of years. Usually stop & take some photos when I drive past it but this one would have to be my favourite. Taken on 35mm film.

Our two month Dec/Jan comp is now closed to further entries & it's time for you to vote for your favouites. Everyone can vote, you don't need to have posted any entries & your support would be most appreciated. For newer members .... it's very easy, just look through all the entries in the thread & click the 'Thanks' button on individual posts for those you wish to vote for.
You can vote for as many or few as you wish, & can even change your vote up until voting closes at 7 pm (Vic time) on Monday 30th January.

I encourage you to enlarge any entries posted as 'thumbnails', larger can bring the photo to life & gives the entrant a fair go.
You decide on the basis for your votes, however I suggest that the combination of clarity, composition, & adherence to the topic are worth considering.

Over to you

Cheers
