Early Saturday morning was cold but beautiful –
brilliant blue overhead with the sun still low in the sky.

below: This is the Bell building from the Simcoe Street side. The blue glass, vertical lines in the concrete, blue sky and strong tree shapes made for an interesting few minutes while I experimented with different angles and views.
below: The ghostly look of reflected light
below: A single pole and its shadow, alone on a wall.
below: Three reflected windows reserved for the president.
below: A half house, a fun find. Once this was a semi-divided house where the shared wall created the peak at the front of the house. With its partner gone, the remaining house looks incomplete.

An interesting play with shadows! A sunny day is ideal for that … but you picked a very chilly one to be out 🙂
The half a house looks so odd! I’ve never seen the dismantling of half a semi before. I wouldn’t even have thought it possible. I didn’t think that centre wall was complete enough to make it feasible.
Great find!
I was downtown for another commitment and mis-timed it. I had an extra 45 minutes. The cold made it tempting to find a coffee shop to hide away in but the sunlight won and I walked around. Re the house – I have no idea how the remaining half stays straight! I’m wishing that I had taken a closer look at it. I know that it is being renovated so it must be worth keeping.
