A Former Cafe

A true Ghost town. No school, no eating establishment. One day a month the two dormant cafes open for hordes of Motorcyclists, a tradition.

Wonderful tonal quality here. The description you provide adds much.

Lots of character with great detail and tonality. Reminds me of a Walker Evans photograph. V.

This cafe had very nice decoration. The seats on the left are just amazing, the small damages in them only uplift their cultural value. BV

How large is the area that has been abandoned? The house and fence across the street seem to be in a dilapidated state as well.

Interesting mix of old and new, abandoned and recently used and of general decay. Works very well with these colors. "V"

It would be interesting to be there on that day of the month. A compelling capture that is both great photography and great story telling. ~BV~

Looks like it could collapse at any time. It does look like an old movie set!

Fascinating, indeed!

It looks pretty old from the outside and also deserted. V

Great work! B&W really works here giving details that I don't think color could.. =V=

Wonderful textures and tones.

This is a fantastic subject so well shot. I don't think I would sit in those two chairs on the porch.
Walter Otto Koenig08-Jul-2019 17:39
Very well composed. Great choice of tones. "V"

This old structure has so much character captured beautifully with the tones and strong composition. The reflections add a unique perspective for this time and place. An excellent capture Neil.

Skilled composition to include the left street view. Very good!

Splendid image, Neil!! I am not sure the roof is safe though!!

well done to portray the ramshackle state of the place so effectively..
John Vass08-Jul-2019 05:31
Looks sounds and interesting! Warm weather brings on the traditional hordes of motorcyclists to this perfect spot! They need to pass the helmet around to get some money for upkeep so they don’t have to find a new tradition. Well seen, like the treatment! V

A great location for the set of an old movie.
peterjay4508-Jul-2019 04:20
Love these tones, perfect for the subject. Terrific shot.
Gill Kopy08-Jul-2019 04:16
Neat shot of this decrepit place - I hope it doesn't decide to collapse on the bikers !! V
Jean D08-Jul-2019 04:15
A fine shot, well documented. Has definitely seen better times.~V
joseantonio08-Jul-2019 04:10
looks close to fall down.V.
Charlene Ambrose08-Jul-2019 03:55
That's very curious - they open for one day? This cafe looks like it's sagging a bit! Nice catch.. V
