John FitzGerald's photos

A gate is part of a fence, right? Right?

The Hockey Hall of Fame was originally a branch of the Bank of Montreal (Frank Darling and S. G. Curry, 1886).

Tombland is an Old Norse word meaning open space. It was the marketplace until the Normans moved the market to its current spot in the late eleventh century. The memorial is to Edith Cavell, and is the work of S. C. Clark. It stands outside the wall along the west side of the cathedral close. If you're ever in Norwich, by the way, Tombland is pronounced as two equally stressed syllables.

I'm going to be posting several more photos on this theme, so I would like to make it clear that, sketchy as some of these efforts to bring the look of the country into the city may appear. I love them all. In a city whose buildings are as blandly coloured as Toronto's, any display of colour I regard as a friendly gesture intended to make my life more enjoyable. I also find this display more enjoyable than those leafy squares in London surrounded by fences with locked gates and with barbed wire on top. That ain't nice. I also like how the shadow looks like the front end of a streetcar. There's a streetcar line about a block away, so it's as if the cars were casting their shadows a block north.

This is an old one, but I don't think I've posted it before. It's better than any of today's efforts, anyway.

A re-edit of a photo I posted on Flickr a few weeks ago. I tried to remove a blue cast from that one by adding red and green and went a bit overboard.

Toronto ====== 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.

Brookfield Plce consists of two of two office buildings with an atrium between them. The two buildings, The Bay Wellington Tower and the TD Canada Trust Tower (1992 (Bregman _ Hamann Architects with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) , were completed in 1992. The atrium, called the Sam Pollock Galleria, is by Santiago Calatrava. This was taken from within the atrium, looking at the Bay Wellington Tower.

Congratulations and thanks to the IMA and its supporters for negotiating an agreement with ipernity. As you may recall, I was not one of the supporters. I thought the effort was doomed but luckily I was wrong. And now I will be a loyal supporter and buy a membership when the time comes. My exile to Flickr chiefly reminded me how much better ipernity is, so I'm switching back.

Bank Corner, London, in the 1930s (I checked the buses out when I posted this long ago and they were built in the late 20s and early 30s (of course I lost the list I made)). ======= Submitted to the Vintage Photos Theme Park in the "Your Most Popular Vintage Photo" category.

Last day of a mild winter.
