John FitzGerald's photos

A re-edit of an old photo (the sun is still reluctant to show its face in Toronto).

An apartment building opened in 1963 (although not completed till 1964). Architects: George Robinson with Tampold and Wells.

I suppose you can't have a red St. Patrick station.

Anglican church in Southwold, Suffolk

The building in back was opened in 1929 as the headquarters of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, later part of the London Underground. The architect was Charles Holden, and the building features sculptures by several important sculptors. One of the sculptures, by Jacob Epstein, outraged many when the building opened, until Epstein agreed to chop off its penis. Transport for London announced plans several years ago to move out of the building by 2015, but according to TripAdvisor it ran an open house there three weeks ago, so still seems to be using the building. Update ====== In 2020, planning permission was granted for a conversion of 55 Broadway into a luxury hotel. The website of the hotel chain that obtained the permission still show the conversion as a future project.

Everywhere you go, tributes to Andy Warhol. As well there should be. Some other tributes: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1294982?with=45547580

For Sight and Sound, dynamic accompaniment by Willis Jackson and his band: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-is9GsxCT0 I think the music goes better with the large version, but you be the judge -- click the pic or type Z.

At the seaside in Suffolk. A re-post from two years ago -- the sun has deserted Toronto.

Another wrapped Toronto bus. Lots of little tiny yellow dots in the big version.

Taken through the window of a bus with an advertising wrap at Bathurst station. I think this was inspired by Lawren Harris's paintings of Toronto houses. No houses here, but it looks similar to them to me. I suspect it's the light. I put it in my Tributes album, anyway. More tributes: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1294982?with=45547580

This coffee shop at 1 University Avenue in Toronto used to be one of my favourites. The long-running roadwork on York and Front Streets seems to have killed it off, though. The roadwork is finished now, but so is the coffee shop.
