 I have always liked images that could only be taken once - destruction / construction etc. This is no longer there, which makes this image more important - if images can carry importance.

This is one of my 3 images that were selected to be hung in my local library. I figured if it was good enough for that -it is good enough for this challenge.

Harding high / Middle school: 1925-2007 RIP (there's a new version of it about 50 yards away from this spot).

I like how well-defined the fence links are even though they're right next to the lens.

Nice perspective. I like how the building is framed by the fence though may be a bit too central in the image.

nice colors and interesting composition, but to me the OOF fence is somewhat distracting.
