A view of the heritage building at 343 Richmond Street with a more modern building as a background. Built in 1882, this is listed as "High Victorian" architecture.

Imagery of Light 
Nice pic, I like the contrast between old and new.
thanks! this is a diverse city for architecture.
Gosh – this is a really striking photo. I, too, love the contrast between old and new and I also like the steel-blue colour which links the two buildings giving a feeling of harmony. I also like the interesting lines.
I’m a great lover of architecture – particularly Puginesque Gothic – but I haven’t photographed any yet. You give me a lot to aspire to Sheila!
thank you! I had to stand in the middle of a busy road to get that angle… just waited for breaks in the traffic. funny what one will do with a camera in hand!
I really like architectural images like this, Sheila. The juxtaposition of the old against the contemporary is fascinating. Ellen Yeates created a similar image in San Francisco http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyeates/5479457182/ but I think your image has a lot more impact.
thank you Wayne – that is a really nice shot you referenced – amazing modern architecture there. I also like when old buildings are re-purposed and incorporated into modern architecture.
