In Western PA we don't have drop-dead sunsets, waves crashing on the rocks, or jagged snow-capped peaks to capture the photographer's attentions. BUt we do have decay! Your image shows the genteel deterioration of a century-old commercial block, with the foreground of utilities infrastructure that has been superimposed with grim practicality. It documents, sadly, a sundown in more ways than one. Nice job with all the basics: texture, pattern light and shadow. Plowden-esque.

Order - kaos! Interesting, decay, OK don't know enough of Western PA!, but looks like a nice "classical" print (can't help thinking of Walker Evans).
Thanks for showing!

Plowden and Evens! I'll take those comparisons. =)

Decay indeed... sadly so much of it here, but certainly has a beauty and elegance of it's own.
