This building on the corner used to be a store, I suspect.

Brick & Stucco
The wall between the last two postings is itself quite interesting. The image is composed almost entirely of rectangles. Hardly a curve in sight.
Different processing “tricks” have been used for each of the three shots of the old Belmont Hotel building. The colour enhancement necessary to give some life to the “out of camera” photos was achieved in three slightly different ways. It’s fun to experiment. (Thanks to Silverpixel for an idea that I modified a bit to give the colour enhancement for this image.)

1910
This substantial brick house was built in 1910.
A very unique design.
Still looks good today!

Flying proudly.
We visited Ottawa recently. It is a great place to be.

Symmetry
This house has always been a favourite.
There is a gentle and pleasing symmetry to its design.
In my mind it has a very English feel to it.
I am reminded of “The Wind in the Willows” whenever I see it.

Lookin’ Good?
Sometimes the rear yards of old buildings tell their own stories. This structure is on Oak Street and those photographers whose memories go back some years remember seeing it when they visited a favourite store via the back way.
The designer of the necessary fire escape paid scant attention to the look of the building. The modifications to the original windows do not add to the architecture. It once looked good.
Now…?
