This one is so interesting. It is a wide open space, and yet, it is the embodiment of transience. So much could be here, and I can see it. This was maybe a Macy's, or a Kohl's. It looks like it is from a shopping mall. A great center, now derelict. Maybe that's just from my background as a 90s child, living through the end of the mall era, now looking back upon it with rose lenses.
