"Terminal Condition"
Raleigh, NC - November 2008 (Click to embiggen)
This building is apparently owned by CTX Transportation, a company that ships bulk chemicals and other goods mainly by rail. This terminal (I assume that's what it is anyway) is located at what used to be the train station in Raleigh. The station was moved back to its original location on the south side of town several years ago, and in its place a small collection of shops moved in. From the looks of it, this terminal missed out on the gentrification project, or perhaps it was still in use when the Amtrak station moved out.
Stumble This!

Nice light reflections....
Very atmospheric shot. I love the play of shadows on the wall.
It is a bit like a step wedge with that range of contrast.
Makes you wonder what's behind the doors.
It looks a bit spooky in B&W. Maby it is for reel too?
Have a nice week :)
Great b/w photo!
Just like the game SimCity, town planners have forgotten that crowd follows connecting points of transports.
Now, it's deserted !
No much time before it becomes a squat or a playground for children with adevnturer mind.
The mono really brings out a forlorn, abandoned feeling.
Nice one.
I see a mystery when I look at that photo. I know you explained what happens there but somehow it seems mysterious.
Abandoned or not it has its own beauty.
I like the diagonal lines in the foreground from a railing or whatever it is. That for me is the highlight of the picture.
The building does look rather neglected.
Another building just waiting for some TLC but it does allow us to peruse those lines and shapes.
Great shot with the shadows and great textures onthe building. Smiles B
seems folorn...
beautiful composition
This looks like it is moving, with how the shadows are, very neat.
KK
this building has 'deserted' written all over it. in a nice way though...
I like the series of rectangles and faint shadows, Kind of eerie.
Nice shadows. To bad this building was left behind.
Love this
I like the soft shadows on this shot. Very nice as usual.
Great job, Mojo! My black white shot for MM is a terminal too! :)
