Comments: double history

Woooa. Good eye! It's amazing what you will see when you take the time to look around.

wow, an amazing capture. this is a great one.

Posted by Andrew at July 13, 2006 02:02 AM

Great shot !

Ahhh - massive quantities of red brick. I am fortunate enough to live a couple of kilometres from the largest red brick construction in Europe, the Stockport viaduct. I feel inspired to go over there soon and get some pictures of it.

This is nice because of the layers of history that remain in the fabric of the building. Excellent work.

Now that is a bigass building :-) Joke a side, this is a pretty good capture.

Seems like a building with a lot of history

the wall has great patterns.

Wow! That really shows you how life goes by. Very interesting composure. I love it!

Nice wall

Posted by Maicoll Dalpiaz at July 13, 2006 08:27 AM

Wild! It looks like that building has undergone a few minor changes over the years. It's pretty amazing! Great catch!

Posted by Laurie at July 13, 2006 08:49 AM

I love shots that show the passage of time! Great find...I just wish you captured it a little more creatively?

You're being 'cranked' (see link).

Great photo! Traces of history like that are always great finds.

One nitpick: I would have called it "Brick Ghosts" instead of "Double History," but that's just me...

Looks Awesome.. no wonder they didn't rebuild the whole thing.
Sam awesome pictures as always.. you never fail to impress.. theres always something that makes one think in all your pictures.. when I'm bored I go through all your old pictures especially the ones in Iran as they remind me of my childhood.
Keep up the great work.

Great perspective view of the building and very interesting patterns on the brick wall.

Posted by Ayash at July 13, 2006 10:32 AM

Most interesting -- like an archeological find. I wonder if the smaller stone building was mortared to the larger brick one or if that shape was the original structure. The rounded archways on the right suggest perhaps at least a third structure. And, I wonder what impression the parking attendant hut will leave on the wall.

Astute observation. Your images not only inspire people to become photographers but also demonstrate that the ability to see in creative ways what others take for granted is indeed a gift.

Interesting wall. How we change. The old stone section has some nice shifts in texture.

Nice historical catch for the record.

Posted by Hugh Petrie at July 13, 2006 11:09 AM

This one is great. What a find!

Posted by Kent Blumberg at July 13, 2006 11:17 AM

I love those old outlines of previous buildings. don't see any of those really old brick ones in Toronto usually though

Posted by Jeremy at July 13, 2006 12:52 PM

that's just brilliant!

Posted by mark Haak at July 13, 2006 01:28 PM

This shot is so awsome, I love the history in the walls! Very unique, great photo Sam!

Posted by James at July 13, 2006 01:35 PM

That's so funny, I took almost the same shot when I was in old Montreal two years ago. It was nice to see it again.

Posted by Laura at July 13, 2006 02:14 PM

Cool! Lots of history in that facade ...

Plus check out dude's matching shorts 'n' visor fashion statement!

Posted by Jeff B at July 13, 2006 02:21 PM

That spot in Montreal is absolutely gorgeous.. I'm not sure how many times I've seen that exact brick outline on the wall! Hopefully there are more pics of Montreal coming!

Posted by Tim O at July 13, 2006 03:52 PM

I prefer to believe it's just a very very narrow building.

Posted by anonymous commenter at July 13, 2006 04:09 PM

Wow. That's amazing, strange, and humorous all at the same time!

Posted by Joshua at July 13, 2006 04:26 PM

Wow, I just came over from Nik's blog - you've got some amazing images here!

Posted by miss604 at July 13, 2006 05:48 PM

that's incredible!!! I can't believe it... really god shot

:P

Posted by pasta0126 at July 13, 2006 07:46 PM

I like your blog very much
Why did you stop to publish what lens you were using and settings?

Posted by Lev Olkha at July 13, 2006 08:52 PM

That cool. For once I'm not posting about your photography but about the subject. I'd defiantely take a picture of that if I saw it.

Posted by Graham at July 13, 2006 09:42 PM

I've never seen anything like that before. Good eye.

Posted by MarkDM at July 13, 2006 10:52 PM

It would be interesting to see if that wooden hut is replaced with something smaller in the future.

Brilliant shot.

Posted by Mystery Me at July 14, 2006 06:23 AM

Nice colours in the nrick work and a a unique shot.

Posted by Craig at July 14, 2006 09:46 AM

very cool subject

Posted by Kevin at July 14, 2006 12:31 PM

Unbelievable brick work!Four floors,no column,no beam....,just brick wall?

Posted by Harlequinpan at July 14, 2006 01:10 PM

What great lengths you went through to photograph the woman in the lower left corner -- including this monolithic building so your wife would not be suspicious. ;^)

This will go down in history as 'The Great Wall of Samy.'

Posted by Kevin at July 15, 2006 12:13 PM

That is a fantastic image. Would be a great image without the hut, but the hut is a perfect addition.

Posted by MargaretR at July 16, 2006 05:47 PM

Triple history actually. There's the new history of an empty plot as well.

Posted by Ioannis at July 17, 2006 06:25 AM

wow, that's an amazing bit of history there!

Posted by degan at July 17, 2006 02:14 PM

I wonder what goes in the funnel at the top of the building, and where it lands after it pops out!

Posted by Adam Bramwell at July 18, 2006 01:13 AM

It's amazing .

Posted by Roojyar at July 26, 2006 06:56 AM

"...pave paradise and put up a parking lot..."
I don't know why, but that song came to me when i saw this one...
Lovely capture, well spotted!
