The fire that burned Notre Dame produced great sadness in the World.
Such a beautiful place. Awesome in its size.
The day after the fire, this is no more.
Promises to rebuild are being made and doubtless will be honoured. We will not see this beauty again for decades.
But it will happen.

It has been eleven months since a devastating fire destroyed Lefebvre’s and Vested Interest.
The heavily damaged building awaits the start of the rebuilding operation.
I made posts at the time of the tragedy. They are HERE and HERE .
When catastrophe occurs we tend to forget about the effects as time passes. The building shell serves as a constant reminder. I hope that positive things can begin to happen soon for those most directly affected.

Silverpixel has posted a pair of photos (one of which has disappeared) in the past couple of days that were processed using an app on his iPad. They were really neat.
This got me interested in a filter plug-in from the same company for my computer (I am iPadless). I have been having a good deal of fun playing with the trial version that I downloaded.
There is of course, little point in using exotic filters on pictures unless they add something – a mood , a feeling, the appropriate punch…- to the photograph. That’s where the “art” comes in.
I published some photos recently of the aftermath of the disasterous fire on Main Street.
Here is another photograph processed two diferent ways using the software.
Here is the original for comparison:
Worthwhile?

Two nights ago the Cochrane Block, built in 1911 on North Bay’s Main Street, burned.
Two businesses occupied this building. Lefebvre’s Sports on this end and Vested Interest in the back of the building which opens onto McIntyre Street. Both businesses suffered devastating fire damage.
It seems that old buildings in downtowns everywhere suffer the same fate on a regular basis. It is always heart-rending when they do.
The pain lasts forever.
