Excellent, as always.
I'm making my first trip to Toronto this month and look forward to seeing some of the things in your photos. This trip will be but a half-day but it will be a nice preview for when I come for a longer visit probably in fall.
Thanks for introducing me to the town. Perhaps I'll go to Siena and Teheran before long, too!

Posted by Hitesh Sawlani (hitkaiser) at August 14, 2006 03:51 AMI might be stating theobvious, but the Stop sign makes this photo worth the shot. In its absence, it might have been mundane.
Posted by iNK at August 14, 2006 04:38 AMCool perspective, the no entry sign makes this image. Nicely done.
Posted by Steve W at August 14, 2006 06:14 AMI like the composition.
It gives the feeling of Drum & Bass!
Interesting angle! Nice detail in the brick work.
Posted by Craig Wilson at August 14, 2006 08:54 AMWhat I do find interesting is the decrepit condition of the brickwork. In Canada, most cities would likely demand a lot of repair, pointing of the caulking, and perhaps replacement of the brick facade where it's become hazardous. It may be in better shape than it looks, of course. Could be it was better constructed than more modern work - but doubtful. Hard for society to keep up to the demands of decay.
The insides of these places, however, may be kept quite tidy and pleasant. Can't see that.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at August 14, 2006 09:06 AMNice shot. Colours are beautiful, especially the deep blue sky.
Posted by Photoblog Community at August 14, 2006 11:38 AMthe perspective in this one makes me feel dizzy .. and the sky couldn't possibly be more blue .. Does the no entry sign refer to the sky? hope not ;)
Posted by Susie at August 14, 2006 01:57 PMReally nice colours! Red and blue and erm... brick! :p
Posted by PlasticTV at August 14, 2006 02:21 PMHello Sam,
Nice shot. I have a technical question regarding the exif data you provided for this shot. What does the P@-0.1 mean? Look forward to hearing your response
I miss seeing clothes lines in cities.

Siena IS that colour;
in Italy the buildings can look decrepit on the outside, and yes, very smart inside;
if you want clothes lines, go to Naples.
Go to Naples anyway!
And Venice, and Rome...
i like this one very much, and your skys are supurb. ive been trying to recreate the effect. but haven't succeded yet. I guess looking at more of your photos would help
Posted by Andrew at August 14, 2006 10:57 PMBrilliant color!!nice shot!I love the blue!
Posted by TS at August 15, 2006 12:32 AMyeah i like this one too, and no, it's not oversaturated at all! The colors are just right and adding a nice last touch to a perfect composition.
Posted by javga at August 15, 2006 03:13 PMThe sky looks like a BLUE LIGHTNING BOLT.
Posted by matt at August 16, 2006 04:08 PMI was in Siena at that time for Palio, but I'm from Toronto and missed keeping up with your site for the month I was gone.
I hope you loved it as much as I did!!
