Encountered this relic and was told by a helpful resident that it closed when the federal government introduced the much-disliked Goods and Services Tax in 1991. Apparently all the stock is still inside. There was little colour in this scene - just the blue sky and muted green of the tree and shrub - so it was an easy decision to create and show you this monotone version. I like how the absence of distracting colour heightens the photo's drama. Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter Click on the picture for a larger view. Want to buy this picture?
