After thinking a bit, I remembered this old abandoned motel in Madison that is somehow still standing (most abandoned buildings in this city are quickly demolished). I Many of the glass panes are broken/boarded, and it always feels a bit eerie to walk around this place.
I really love how they have a room numbered 0. You really just don't see that anymore. The broken light adds to the overall atmosphere nicely, and I tried to enhance this mood further through post processing. Note that this is my first entry to use Topaz Adjust 5. I first edited with Adjust 4, but then when Adjust 5 came out the night of rollover, I played with it to see what I could get. After choosing some presets I settled on one and tweaked it a bit to really help display the details that we couldn't see with the Adjust 4 edits.
