you take beautiful pictures. 'nuff said.

Great grim vibes off those buildings in both shots but the looking up to the sky and the freedom of the bird makes for a powerful message. Impressive stuff.

i prefer this to the other angle
nice work

So how long did you have to wait for a bird to fly past this time? ;)

In my country,millions of people doing their
"Looking up"job as[daily dose of imagery];
They are watching their racing pigeons.
Sam,you are so lucky!

Awsome image. I'm frightened, though - what *is* that in the sky??

This is a very interesting building. It looks very much in need of rehabilitation, or demolition. Great angle on both shots.

oh my god! now that's what I call toronto; be-utiful

ps; someone remarked on my earlier comment about documenting toronto that the site features art and not documentation, and so could cover any location; well, i don't think there's a necessary difference - i think the best art is often documentation, it provides a narrative for something ... a place, person, event etc. this blog does exactly that;

Sure is a cruddy mess. Pigeon's nesting in the window are hardly visible but you got it.

What puzzles me is the bright spot of cloud behind the bird in the sky. If you haven't diddled the image with Photoshop I'm not sure you shouldn't tone that spot down a bit. I find it distracting.

Now what really gets me is how dirty the place is - but then humans make a big mess in the world too, so the birds are not alone. I feel it unfair how pigeons take so much blame.

Is that a stitched image? And what is it in the sky?

Is it just me, or is that a Half-Life logo on the rusted wall?

Very sweet pic. I love the angle, the building itself, and especially the little peace symbol scratched on the wall!

That is a WONDERFUL photo. Thanks so much for taking such great pictures for us all to enjoy!

Love that bird, an added bonus!

Uh oh, another flying poop vessel about to attack. Must have needed lots of lens cleaner for these shots. I like the Jackson Pollock-like artsiness of the white paint splatter on the wall to the left.

... oh wait, is that paint splatter, or something else related to the pigeons?

Hmmmmm...

I'm wondering how long you waited until that bird took flight...

Wonderful textures - even if some of it is poop-texture.

=o]

is it rhe same bird?

I love it! nice job...

Try to rotate your photo clockwise which you posted at April 17,2006.You will see a very interesting picture like Rene Magritte's painting.

By the way,I don't understand why the shadow of pigeon over there?Is another one?

I took a bunch of photos near here recently. I generally triy to avoid standing under flying pigeons.

Niece colours

You must have been moving kind of quick to take one shot and turn for another shot without the bird getting too far off. The bird looks pretty weird in this one. How'd it end up looking like that? Great shot though.

Awesome.

i like the peace symbol to the right of the window :)

I particularly like the lighting in this shot - and the brick and metal - such a great urban decay feel!
