The Wendy\’s in the middle of Oxford had a \”small\” fire three years ago. The wise business owners left it abandoned (see image) in the center of town until they could brow beat City Council into letting them build a monstrously large apartment building. We will trade one eyesore (Abandoned Burnt out Wendy\’s) for another eyesore (Apartment building). City council lets the people down again.
Wendy\’s update. While the owneres were earning insurance income for not being open, they built a new restaurant on the edge of town. Interesting that this one does not have a drive through and the new ones does. I\’ll bet their revenues increased dramatically and they are much better off after the fire.

Great dof and light.
I have similar picture…I like the chain link effect
superb DOF
You\'ve set quite a mood with selective focus. Because of your previous photos I can make out the bulldozer. Otherwise it would be nothing more than an array of color. Fantastic shot.
Terrific depth of field Nick. The sharpness of the links just pop out at you.
very nice DoF Nick. really cool. 🙂
Bonjour,

Excellent dof and a cool idea.

Creative use of DOF.
Really creative shot…focus is spot on with a terrific dof.
Nice, oryginal focus. I like it!
Nice, oryginal focus. I like it!
Nice use of DOF. Have no idea what they are demolishing, but I guess it\'s something nostalgic?
Great focus. I understand it is too painful to watch!
interesting way to capture the wendy\'s come down. 🙂
Maybe they torched this place so they could build one with a drive-thru?
Very strange business plan…Are these planned fires as part of their growth strategy? The fence makes a pretty cool pattern and nice job on the DoF/focus.
perfect play with the DOF
Original focus choice, I like it.
This is an extraordinary image, Nick. Very nostalgic and the selective focus is really effective for this place.
