The Candy Cane. by jgoldrup

The Candy Cane.

Actually, this new building is called The Vic, but it has picked up that nickname because of its balcony railings. When first put up, I assumed the red was just a film to protect the glass during construction. No. I think it's ugly, what about you? Considering there are no units available to rent, maybe I'm the only Haligonian to think that way. I think it might look pretty during sunrise, but I was still sleeping at that hour today. I can see this building out my front windows, but it doesn't block my harbour view - I never had one to begin with since the water is downhill from me.
love the shot and I think the red is cool... love the lines and contrast!

It might not be that pretty in real life, but it makes a cool photo!

I don't know, I kind of like the red, but maybe I'd have to see the building in real life. We have some buildings near GM Place that they've done a similar thing with, in primary colours, and I think it looks cheap and plastic'y. Love your angle and crop here!

its not the ugliest building I've ever seen (I've visited Germany) what the heck is a Haligonian? Good angle and great rule of thirds with the cables.

@chewyteeth Haligonian - a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I've been to Germany, but it was ages ago so can't compare.

I'm not sure I like it either. They red would always catch my eye and I'd always be looking up. But, maybe that's the idea?
I like your angle and those criss crossy lines!

Great shot! It does look a little half-finished to me too :)
