Contest 110: Insufferable institutions
The worst thing about official and government buildings is their absolute lack of humour. Here, for instance, is a typical corridor: faceless, joyless, a really depressing space.

Can't we liven this one up a bit? High res is here.

Whizz bang! That was quick GBK. A great answer to dreary corridors and halways. And I like the way you have used the door from last week. How long could you work there for and remain sane out of interest?

Wow! Talk about quick! I love the way the arrow is guiding us into the welcome of the bar. Good one!

Vibeke,
Love it! Complete with dancing girls and socialite ladies on the park bench. Where's the juggler?
Or maybe this is the audition room for "America's Got Talent."

Hi everyone, Johanna here! I was introduced to this forum by my friend, Sophie. For a week or more, I have been looking at the fun you all have been having and so decided to join in!

I can see by the posted images a whole lot of transformation from drab to fun! In fact, I may never see a deary hallway in the same way again!

I am submitting a try, too But, don't look for much fun! My entry answers the question"What is more drab than a dreary hallway?" Answer: of course, a jigsaw puzzle with a dreary hallway as its subject.

Sometimes those dreary hallways can lead to some very unusual and interesting places. I wonder where the security guy has gone though.

Raffy and Eggbox, thanks for the welcome! Happy to be here. Does anyone ever do a second one? Just love playing around with ideas and Photoshop...

I think I am not alone with that!
