I thought this station was so generic and plain, that it was actually quite attractive... oh, and long story short... police don't like you taking pictures of their buildings!

Hah looking back, it was pretty funny, especially since I knew I was ok since my relative is in charge at that station. azpix wrote in post #6067329 interesting subject and i think the photos are good. never seen police without the name of the municipality. The 3 cops that interrogated me said there was no reason to photograph such an ugly building, but like you, I've never seen a police station with just POLICE lit up like that. It's really quite a site! EOS R6 Mark II - Sigma 50/1.4 Art - Sigma 14-24/2.8 Art - Canon EF 70-200/2.8L Mark III - Godox Xpro-C - Godox TT685C x2

But, either he didn't tell the rest of the officers, or he sent them out on purpose to give me a rough time... but 3 guys in suits, looking like they were part of the Sopranos, walked slowly toward me and gave me a good grilling.  If that's you in your avatar, then they'd have reason to give you the business ! Darcy

It's sooo strange and simple that it's actually quite beautiful... it's like an iStation made by Apple. Yiskah wrote in post #6072233 My thoughts exactly! Whenever I talk to my relative that works there, I'm going to refer to it as the "chop shop" Darsk47 wrote in post #6071570 If that's you in your avatar, then they'd have reason to give you the business !  LOL! That would have been awesome to have worn that mask! What a completely boring looking police station....and the black unmarked Chevy. It's all kinda funny. Yeah, and you should have seen the 3 big guys that came out of there... totally looked like they belonged in the Sopranos... big guys in nice clothes... and one guy had a fu-manchu moustache. apomaio wrote in post #6104914 i like the light in both pics. but i like composition more in the 1st! ya ya this police station look very strange! I too prefer the composition in #1. After looking at them again, one thing I don't like is the apparent "halo" around the right side of the building.
