I just could not resist

Well you all know how much I love old buildings. so when Mel and I were strolling along Stephen Avenue in Calgary I was in my glory. I am not sure how many shots I took that day but It was way to many to choose from. So I just went through them and randomly picked a few of the ones I really liked.
I would like to know which one is your favorite
"the trib" caught my eye right away. it is a very nice building. i like the series of arched windows. i'd love to see the details on the door on its right. great collage, brian.

i think i would do that in august - just go around toronto and photograph old buildings. i'll case the city this weekend and see how many i can come up with.

Well, they are all quite impressive, but I think I like the upper middle one the most- it's very imposing and majestic.
July 6th, 2012  
Wonderful collage. Great looking buildings.

Yes, I like the upper middle one, too....the angle of the building and the light upon it are very appealing to the eye.
July 6th, 2012  
Nice collage, good example of various architectures
July 6th, 2012  
Great collage
July 6th, 2012  
Yes a wonderful collage of these vintage buildings, nice find!
July 6th, 2012  
Love the collage ... anything old is my kind of architecture. Judging by these, they all seem to be historic. But like @summerfield, I choose the Trib too. Seems cozy ... and looks like its a restaurant. My kind of place. :)

July 6th, 2012

What a fantastic collage, Brian. I love the detail in each photo. We do not find architecture like this here. Nice to see it. Love your photos.
July 6th, 2012

July 6th, 2012  
top middle ...It is a awesome collage!!
July 6th, 2012  
Wonderful job! I would have to say top right...Trib building. I love curved windows, the vintage brick look (I'm viewing this on my phone, so I think it's brick), the hit of black against the clay colour...i think that aboit covers it:)
July 6th, 2012

@maaikel You're welcome
July 7th, 2012  
I really like all of them but bottom middle is my favourite.
July 7th, 2012  
Love them all, but the Trib caught my eye right away. I love outdoor dining....al fresco.... and those cool red umbrella topped tables were a plus! Very nice collage, Brian.
July 7th, 2012  
@dishaparekh176 That one shows a glimpse of the Palliser Hotel where we stayed
July 7th, 2012  
I'll vote for the top on the left. I like the deep red accents. Great buildings though, all of them.
July 7th, 2012  
Wonderful collage, so much wonderful architecture.
July 7th, 2012  
@leilaboyd It was like heaven for me
July 7th, 2012  
@sandier They certainly gave me lots to take pictures of
July 7th, 2012  
My favorite is the lower left with the bow window. Looks cozy.
July 7th, 2012  
Wow--you probably know that I love old buildings, too, so this is a feast! I think I like the upper middle one best...
July 8th, 2012
