Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONThis shot was taken in Fremantle, the beautiful port city in Western Australia, last week. It was a scorching hot summer evening with the sun still high in the sky and at least another four hours until dusk.
We had just parked the car in Henry Street and were about to walk across the park to slake our thirst when I spotted this doorway. There as no sign to hint at what it was, but I was just captivated by the weather-beaten effect and the pastel shades, as well as the balls that were clearly visible through the right-hand window.
I was also attracted to the sight because the concrete facade had a vertical crack and one of the exterior lights was skew-whiff. It was an architectural reminder of our very own human frailties.
