Great Photo. I love the texture of the building as well as the contrast with the way newer buildings in the background on the right. The "DANGER" sign also adds much to this photo. Keep up taking great photos and letting us see them!

Posted by ajoy krishna at December 1, 2009 07:21 AMFound you site and have been checking out your pictures every day for about a month now. They are really insprational.
Is this Freddy Kreugers residence..? :)
I like the contrast between the new and old.
Looks like a beautiful old building. I'm glad they didn't demolished it. Nice contrast between the old in the front and the new in the background.

Posted by humanb at December 1, 2009 04:10 PMThis is one excellent image of the city transition. It especially hits me for very significant things in my life which took place at 10 Elm street, near Yonge St.. Looks like a big hole here.
Nate Howe doesn't think the 'Danger' sign is relevant but the bigger the city the bigger the number of fools, and it's a legal necessity.
I think this photo showcases urban revitalization in Toronto to a tee. Excellent shot!
Posted by Rachel at December 2, 2009 11:54 AMThis reminds me of when I was a boy in Scotland. We used to pass buildings just like this, with fireplaces, doors, and toilets on the outside. Grass growing on the ground where we walked. We, as children, laughed at the sight. My parents were very serious. We didn't understand at the time that this was the left over from Nazi bombs. The people who had lived in those flats had died. So many Torontotonians can appreciate those memories now. Including those from the Middle East where it's happened more recently. We are truly fortunate in Toronto. And Canada. Cheers.
Posted by Jim at December 3, 2009 01:09 AMHi Sam This is an excellent photo. I love the contrast in texture and colour. It reminds us that the juxtaposition of old and new makes our city more interesting visually.
