    Bradley Shawn ...

    LOL!!!! This is a brilliant find my friend. It speaks of the frustrations of life, of the obstacles that we have to over come. Perhaps there is even a hint of the feelings of feeling trapped or restricted. However it is viewed, it is a great shot. The textures, balance and the colours all work to create a stunning composition. :-)

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Thank you so much my friend. Made me think and view this in a different way.

    Hey! Who nicked the steps??? LOL I’m also intrigued by the 7/1 – Doesn’t that make 7? More intriguingly, how long ago is it since this door was last opened? Great find, and wonderful texture! I hope you added it to the windows and doors group?

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Hmmm…. farily common though – the 7/1. It’s probably a single building that was then divided into 7 bits with 7 different tenants (each with a different entrance) – hence the 7/1. Strangely enough – that lock didn’t look rusted so I guess they must still use this (I’ve got to stake it out to find out how though)

    Fantastic!!! Love the colors and the textures!!! Perfect!
    I’m also intrigued by the little sign in the corner of the door – “Sunday Holidays” – do you know what this was a door to?

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Wow – I want you computer monitor. Fairly difficult to spot!
    I imagine it’s a place for some sort of business. I will stake this place out just to find out

    WOW!!!! Let’s hope they have a back entrance!!!!! What a glorious find, Vickram … wonderful detail and color … beautiful!!!!

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Thanks Lois – it was surreal to find an old frozen in time building so close to the glass and concrete office towers that are all around

    Ohhhhh! I LOVE this Vikram! Doors just make me giddy! (I know….I am strange!) This one in paticular! I love the colours and the TEXTURES…..all of them! I want to TOUCH this, I want to know what is behind it! I want to add it to my favourites, so that is what I am going to do :) Fantastic find buddy and very nicely captured :)

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Thanks for the fav – somehow I knew this would appeal to you!! Something about your recent series maybe? :-)

  • Shelly Hiebert

    Hey, and remember….nothing is impossible…..just bring a step ladder next time ;)

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Now this is one drastic measure to discourage door-to-door salesmen!!!!

    Super shot, Vikram….. GREAT TITLE!!!!! (phew, I know!)...amazing textures.
    You should put this in numbers…the 7/1 is too funny! Nicely spotted, Vikram! :))

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    LOL – I think the ‘Sunday closed’ means that they are salesmen of some sort.As I explained to George – the 7/1 is fairly standard (my office building is a 16/1). But I will submit this to numbers.

    I guess an alpinist lives here… returning home after climbing a mountain may be a deception. But not this way!

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    LOL – also has to be a tee-totaler!!

    what an amazing shot, its intriguing to guess how they actually do enter or exit. well done, this is really thought provoking, leave alone the fact that its an incredible photo to begin with!

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    Thank you! – like I replied to another comment – I think I’m going to have to stalk this doorway to find out how they do it – LOL!!
