[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Empresa de Moagem de trigo de Angola, used to be a wheat processing manufacturing plant, this is a very old but still standing it was built in the 60's or even earlier built by the Portuguese.
It has survived more than 50 years of civil war and it is abandoned.
I think this picture has the potential of being edited for the WS perhaps a good B&W feature will work well.
Thank you,
Nelson

Hi Nelson, Nice capture of an example of art deco architecture found in Angola. I have heard the Ethiopia also has some examples. Might have been better to crop the pile of dirt on the LHS.

Not a cheerful view. But well, all wars sooner or later comes to an end, isn't it?

Olá concordo não é uma vista muito bonita mas mesmo assim é uma boa foto mostra a realizade de uma guerra civil!
Fica bem Ana:)

Olá Nelson!
Gosto da foto.Apesar de triste é muito real e até acho que o monte de terra não fica mal aqui. Concordo contigo, em B&W deve ficar óptima!
Cumprimentos e um Feliz Ano Novo para ti!
Anabela

Ola Nelson,gostei muito da foto porque me traz felizes recordacoes. Eu vivi bem pertinho deste edificio e ja nao o via ha 30 anos.Embora todo destruido e bom relembrar os tempos antigos que trazem tanta saudade.
Obrigada pela lembranca e mostra mais fotos de Silva Porto Gare (Kuito) se as tiveres.

Um abraco,
Magui

Olá Nelson

A composição,contraste...Well done!!
Talvez tenhas razão em relação ao B&W
Abraço
