Big and Small

Downtown Edmonton still has some of its old buildings standing and these are two of them
The small one is the Canada Permanent Building built in 1910 and the other one is The McLeod Building which was built in 1915. I should mention that this an old picture taken back in September in case you are wondering what happened to all of the snow we have

[Valerie Chesney]

windows, columns, angles & shadows, a wonderful capture....

[Nitrogene]

Lovely building and the light and the blue sky reflecting on the windows makes for a great image!

[wendy frost]

Lovely capture of the two buildings

[Dione Giorgio]

Love the architecture of the smaller building. Beautiful capture to show them together.

[Jane Anderson]

It amazes me that they are just five years apart. They seem separated by more years than that.

[Colleen Culhane]

Quite a contrast between the two. I agree with Jane, hard to imagine they were built only 5 years apart. I guess tastes were changing!

[Kate Goring]

Love the contrast between the two. Great shot.

[Dinah Pinkston]

Very nice lighting and wonderful composition to show the contrast of these two buildings. Fav!

[Candace]

Amazing architecture difference for just 5 years! Lovely smaller building!

[Nina Ganci]

brilliant capture well spotted
where are the people and cars?

[Merrelyn]

Quite different styles for buildings only 5 years apart.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely capture, Brian. I really like the lighting in this.

[Lynne]

Nice downtown street shot.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely comparison of these two buildings, incredible for the year differences.

[Margaret Brown]

Such a great contrast in these two buildings but you would think there was a bigger age gap between them!

[Tremerryn]

Nice perspective.

[Ivan]

Super street/urban image, Brian.

Beautiful architecture and all the windows ... nice street view.

[Milanie]

How different the two buildings are to be built just 5 years apart. Like the contrast of big and little. Nice architectural shot.

[Pam]

That's a nice shot

[Janet B.]

Such pretty architectural details on these buildings. I enjoyed your narrative, and I love how you introduce us to Edmonton through your photos.

[Tony]

The small building looks like it is a bookend for the big neighbour.
