“ High Noon ”
Not a scene from a derelict ghost town, this is actually the back-side of the main shopping street in Whakatāne... after a ramraid went south and burned 4 businesses down in the space 30 minutes. The original 1930s concrete facade is all that survived.

    What a great spot to take photos. This works so well in black and white.

    Great capture. I love how you have framed this with the different layers with the sky, the building, the framing, the fence and the grasses below. Gorgeous tones.   Shame about the ram raid and loss of businesses, though ?.  But a great record of time.  Well done.
