Image stealing, but the girl can’t help herself…
Ok, so I’m not supposed to “rip” images from flickr.com directly, but this one is so great, it would be a shame just to point to it:
Isn’t that a beauty? (I mean everything: the cars, the photo, the framing of the shot…) It’s by Maple Musketeer, and the shot is from this page.
Note, by the way, that it was taken yesterday (7/26). It looks old, but it’s simply one (correction: two) of the many vintage cars you’ll see in this climate (they don’t rust, they just eventually fade away…), and the photographer has toned it (sepia?) to suggest age. Across the street you can make out the sign for “Westbank,” which is the presentation centre for a development corporation. The building it’s in used to house Ballantyne Florists, the building itself is by John di Castri, a local mid- to late-20th century architect of some (local) renown.
The photographer who took the photo you see in this post, Jordan Oram, commented on this blog today, but since I had already closed comments to this post, he left his comment on a more recent entry (Blogging in 4 places). Below is his comment, followed by my response. I copied & pasted both to this entry, since that’s where they should be recorded.
