I happened past this old abandoned building in western Kansas last week on vacation not far from Monument Rocks. I think it's a little past the fixer upper stage.

I was a little too early in the day for dramatic evening light so I decided to give it some in Photoshop. This is a copy of the original with some basic editing in PS. #277376

I love it either way but have to say the purple sky makes it more exciting :-) I love old buildings, the more falling down the better :-) I have been to several ghost towns in the CA, Nevada area to shoot and always find lots to photograph! #1584594

Looks like a great place to start. It is still standing so I think it could be fixed...LOL..I love both images but agree with Jill the colors give it more power. Great find and creative PS work. #1584787
