I love this building, with it's blocked up windows and doors. The textures of the brick really stand out in b&w. I like the old street lamp too. A great shot Craig.

I really like this one. I cannot really explain why but it sparked a feeling like from a distant childhood memory even though I've never been to Vacaville it reminds me of something.

I like the composition you created with your choice of elements in this shot. Fine detail and exceptional black and white work make this very attractive.

The symmetry is excellent, Craig! It just wouldn't have the same impact in colour, either. Excellent image!

These old houses could be in any european town. Great shot Craig, seems there has been some alterations over the years, wonderful.
Is Vacaville a big place...?

@Observing: The population is about 93,000 I think.

The sign says no stopping but I am glad you did. Terrific tones. Bricks are so nice to shoot and look great in B&W. Excellent.
