Burke silver mine
This was taken in 2019 at a defunct silver mine near Spokane. It was very brightly lit and I’ve never thought the piatures would amount to anything, but this month I’m desperate! I liked the bright blue sky behind with the cumulus clouds but the building is rather uninteresting, At the time I was looking for a different viewpoint. The junk in the bottom right corner-does it detract too much and is the sky too dark?
I converted to mono in Lr and used the blue slider to darken the sky. I brought back the shadows on the side of the building but not much else.

The sky is fine, the junk is fine, and the viewpoint of the building is good. But I do not find the building at all uninteresting. I think the architecture is notable, very clean lines and very functional.
I decided to search for more information about your silver mine building. I found that it was in Burke, Idaho, not far from Spokane. Here is an article about it, and it has an area photo showing your building.
