That's a great shot, makes me think of my little local post office that was closed last year.
Mine was on a corner too, and looked very much like this one.
They shut down lots of small post offices, now we have to go into the town center to a huge P.O, but there's always massive queues out into the street, it's pure madness.

Closed for good, as it seems. The harsh contrast makes it look even more desolate.

there are quite a few abandoned places where i live for example this image called closed was infact i believe a corner shop no longer in exsistance due to the ever rise of the big supermarkets
