...Georgia Cannery

Today's photowalk found me in an abstract mood -- this is generally a recipe for disaster. I struggle to take good landscape or architectural shots in strong light, and as I don't do portraits, abstract was pretty much all that was left.

This is the Gulf of Georgia Cannery building in Stevenson Village. The building was constructed in 1894, and packed more than 2.5 million cans of salmon in 1897. Today the site is a National Historic Site owned by Parks Canada.

Apologies for my lack of comments over the last few days, I hope to be able to catch up tomorrow!
great looking building with those contrasting textures and tones

Love the strong lines & shadows. I like the texture on the wood work too.
You & I have a very different interpretation of 'abstract'. ;)

I love the detail of the weathered boards and peeling paint.
