My favorite nearby decaying building may be torn down soon. I noticed various workers today clean up areas and the glass on the front has all been removed. I still haven't figured out what this place is, but I sure hope it sticks around in its current state for a while longer.

Those clouds look ominous and seem to pose this building in an intimidating fashion. The rays also seem to be pointing to the building. Nice perspective.
The building and sky lends itself to a sepia pic. The sky has nice elements with the clouds and sun rays. The building has nice old architectural qualities.
