Historic arcade, Brisbane Australia:
A heritage listed arcade with up market shops, built in 1924, that even has its own bomb shelter, in the basement, no longer used as such. This was the subject for my challenger’s choice photograph for this week’s challenge. To join in with your phone’s best photos, see below:
Since the deaths of owner, James Mayne in 1939, and Mary Mayne in 1940, Brisbane Arcade has been operated by a board of trustees acting on behalf of their estates, with operating proceeds benefiting the University of Queensland School of Medicine, (according to Wikipedia).
LensandPensbySally runs a regular phoneography challenge, every Monday, for photos taken with your smart phone, as your lens. Each week there is a different focus:

2nd Monday: Macro
3rd Monday: Black and White
4th and 5th Mondays: Challenger’s Choice (Pick One: Abstraction, Architecture, Food Photography, Night Photography, Portraiture, Still Life, Street Photography, and Travel).
“Life, we learn too late, is in the living , in the tissue of every day and hour.” Stephen Leacock.
A quote to ponder about today.
Great shot, especially because you took the long view. Clarity is really good. Happy Phoneography Monday.

Thanks so much, Sally. I appreciate your words. Unfortunately, this phone met with an accident with salt water at the beach, shortly after I took this shot. I don’t think the new phone is as good…..:(

Your angle is perfect! I love all the angles and lines, all softened with the warm colors of the place. I’m so sorry to hear about your phone’s demise!

Oh thanks for such a lovely comment, and compliment, Firebonnet! I do have a new phone now. A nexus, it is supposedly better, but I am not sure about that. Less options.

Lovely. I like the repetition of lines, angles and signs. Happy 2014.
