 I wish I could make the signboard go in the centre but I could not. The Standard Chartered Bank building on Beach Street is a stout four-storey structure in British Palladian style. The Chartered bank of India, China and Australia arrived on Penang shores in 1875, making it the oldest bank branch in Malaysia. It is one of the two British exchange banks in this region. The building displays a combination of elements drawn from the Palladian, Classical and Art Deco architectural styles.

Very nice feel to this shot; quite post apocalyptic feel; the large edifice and beacon of modern society crumbling both literally and figuratively.

When i look at this It bothers me slightly that i'm not feeling centered, maybe its the lettering, its still very good though.
