 Not sure what type of building this is, but the front has a sign that says "Safety Building". It looks like a firehouse to me. It was on the grounds of an old psychiatric center near my home.

Took the photo with a polarizer to try to get more of the color to come out. Photo was taken around 6:30pm.

Nice shot. Shows good texture. Perhaps a little over processed so whites seem blown out.

If only you could have waited a little longer for the shadow of the lamp to me longer. Nice shot though
