Front Street Boogie-woogie

Front Street Boogie-woogie

Another shot that seems to me to have been inspired by Mondrian's Broadway Boogie-woogie, even though there's little resemblance. rdhinmn's suggestion that it was inspired by Escher appeals to me, too, though.

Vertiginous, when I try to "read" the planes of the photo. The center strip of windows wants to shift back and forth between being a wall between the old and new buildings and stretching away from the balconied corner, down an alleyway. Escher would have approved.

I see that now; didn;t before. Thanks, Bob, for pointing it out.

I guess that's a disadvantage of being familiar with the buildings -- and with something else in the photo that is not a building. I won't say what it is because that might spoil the effect.

Obviously I thought of Mondrian here, but I think you're right and it is closer to Escher.

Everything in Toronto is being replaced by tall buildings, it seems, Gisela.

Horizontal, vertical and and diagonal lines, lots of different geometric shapes, interesting colours and reflections.....................such a lot crammed in, but all the better for it. Very nice indeed.
