Down and Up the Stairs

· Leave a comment ·

Not far from where we live is Todmorden Mills, an historic site which to me has the added significance of being the location of our older daughter’s upcoming marriage at the end of the month. These images are two views of the same set of stairs, going down and coming up.

Following my post of Osgoode Hall Exteriors, here are my interior images from the recent Doors Open event.

It’s always a good exercise to try to find a different perspective on a subject that’s been done to death. Not sure if I succeeded.

Memory

I took this image on a recent walk downtown, and I don’t remember the location. There are days my memory (or lack thereof) just scares me …

Framing

I love this old railway bridge in the lower Don Valley here in Toronto. There has been a lot of rain this spring so there is lush vegetation everywhere, and I like the internal framing effect in this image.

The Beaches Through a Red Filter

· 2 Comments ·

Yes, I love the look of skies darkened by a red filter. To me it seems like a sense of stark drama is created, a hidden eeriness is revealed. These four images are from a recent trip down to The Beaches.
