There’s a pedestrian mall in town that has a mixture of shops, restaurants and government office buildings. Many of the buildings were built after the Second World War in the Gothic Revival style of architecture. I have always liked this door and the detail of the frieze with it’s iconic Canadian scene. I think the colour version works quite well but the black and white version is more in keeping with the period in which it was built.

Great images, Belinda! I particularly like the black and white as it really shows up the details.

Thank you. I really am enjoying working in black and white. It brings out effects you don’t see in the colour version.

For me, I think the colour version just gets it. Lovely old building.

Nice! I like that frieze. Is this mall still in operation? So many old buildings are being replaced, it’d be a shame to lose it.

Thanks! Yes it is. The BIA keeps trying to inject new life into it with varying degrees of success.

Doors and windows are always fun. They somehow hold a bit of mystery.

The B/W version doesn’t show the wear and tear as much. Is that leaded glass beside the big doors? Or just aluminium trim?

The colour version does highlight the age of the structure. I believe it is leaded glass and the bottom trim is oxidized copper.

Must have been a “handsome” door when it was new.
