Welcome to this weeks PP challenge and thanks to Kerrowdown for hosting the last challenge and for picking my effort out of the bunch (the Lagavullin is on the way ).

For this week, it's a piece of mundane and rundown architecture that frequents some of our smaller and remote rural towns here in Australia. I'll leave this open to 9 pm on the 23rd December Australian Eastern Summer Time and the winner will be grinning before christmas. Have fun!

Thanks to all who have had a go. Nice entries so far! Still around a day and a half for anyone thinking of entering. Keep them coming!

Thanks to everyone for their participation in this run and the others over the course of the year! For me, the postpro challenge is one of the most interesting on PF and even when I don't play, I thoroughly enjoy seeing how different people come up with wildly different and interesting interpretations.

Bertwert - the pano crop was something that became popular this week. I like the toning and contrast and also the retention of detail in the shadows. Very good.
IsmaelG - comprehensive job of removing all the power poles and wires (had to take half a point off for the pole shadow that's lost it's pole ) and I like the crop a lot.
Kerrowdown - a dreamy and lovely sunset you have created. The town has never looked so good! Something has grown or evolved on the left hand side - I have no idea how you do this stuff?
Fdooch - I hear your lament but it's OK, the PP challenge is the place to hide the crimes. Fantastic work with the addition of the sign and poster! (Footnote: no cowboys in saloons in Australia, we have stockmen and drovers who drink in pubs or hotels)
Lev - an aged and scuffed treatment for a town that is also showing the ravages of time. The more I looked at your version the more I liked it.
Tuggie76 - lucky it wasn't a slow week! Definitely the over the top award for this week. Hats off! Seats, menu? on the wall, galloping horse teams.....not sure about the sunglasses? Plenty to smile about! Good one.
Pelto - a wonderful and warm treatment with the addition of a mountain backdrop. The locals would be most pleased!

Thanks again to all for their entries.....but there can only be one winner and for this week, I've selected Lev's entry as the winner with Bertwert's entry as the runner up.

Congratulations Lev and over to you for the next challenge.

Congratulations Lev, and thanks to Grimmus, an enjoyable picture to work with.

Merry Christmas to you all.

I didn't expect really, I've received a message from Grimmus and I replied shortly saying thank you and moving on, but didn't fully realized that I won . Now, I want also to say it here so thank you very much, Grimmus and thanks to everyone who participated in this contest! You guys really showed amazing skills! I would like to say special thanks to Fdooch, to be honest, his work inspired me to create mine, absolutely mind blowing, I liked it very much!

THANKS!!!

[Fdooch]

Thanks, Lev.
But Grimmus is right. There are no cowboys in Australia))

[Kerrowdown]

Something has grown or evolved on the left hand side - I have no idea how you do this stuff?

Right hand side too...
