This was the same place as the photo at the top was taken.  Again on an old and rubbish camera but I got very lucky with the lighting.  The grainy look of the black and white one is largely poor resolution due to cropping.

On this one the effect is from shooting through wire fencing into the dust and low sun.  It was the old Central Hotel that used to be next to the station in the town centre.  It was gutted by fire (an insurance scam that EVERYBODY knew about, so how they got away with it, I don't know).  I used to walk past it everyday going into work and one day, suddenly half of it had been knocked down.  It's all gone now and something new being built.  Apartments I believe...

The top photo is quite mysterious and foreboding.

Yes, but the color one is almost an abstract...!

Yes, I really love that photo and it was entirely accidental. It gives this feeling of being sleepy and blinking into the sun so that your eyelashes cause the light to diffract and blur.
