Meandering into, through and out of Toronto's Union Station on Saturday was quite an experience - rather like Canada's answer to Rome's excavations. For a while Front Street was above us, even though we were outside! We saw no archeological artefacts, however! Union Station is Canada's busiest, most important multimodal passenger transportation hub. Over 250,000 passengers use it daily. I look forward to my pictures turning from tired and neglected areas to the beauty that was once there - perhaps by next year! [I'm wondering about initiating an award for tasteful signage!? The red/blue in the middle of the picture rather looks like it's telling me where to go!]

Entranced by the entrance!
Beautiful stained glass on the window and doors of The Royal Hall. I don't know for certain, but I think the design might be classed as Art Nouveau, but I'm happy to be corrected.
Seen in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Taken for submission to the Window Wednesday group. HWW!

The red carpet at the entrance of the Khrushchevka - what could be more original? Literally our whole life is in one frame.

The Entrance Island and Bonnet Island Lighthouses stand at the entrance to Macquarie Harbour, a huge inland sea of about 100 square miles.
History
The narrow 120 metre entrance to the huge Macquarie Harbour was discovered in 1815. Within a year, timber cutters moved in and navigating the narrow entrance and its sandbar was an essential hazard to getting the timber out to Hobart.
A signal station was erected near Cape Sorell in 1822 to indicates conditions entering the harbour. It was manned by convicts from the newly established penal settlement at Sarah Island.
The conditions were so bad at the new Sarah Island that the convicts named the entrance to the harbour Hells Gate. Other records indicate the name was used due to the enormous rush of the tides through the entrance to the harbour which can create very dangerous conditions.
In the 1890’s the discovery of silver and lead at Zeehan greatly increased the traffic entering the harbour works were taken to improve the entrance. In 1891, a light was exhibited from two white six sided wooden towers, one on the western side of Entrance Island, and the other on Bonnet Island. Also a breakwater was constructed at Hells Gate to check the sandbar and in 1899 a light was constructed a Cape Sorell.
The Strahan Marine Board purchased a dredge in 1909 and continued to improve the entrance so that many large vessels could enter.
The Entrance Light was powered by gas until 1977, when solar panels and batteries took over. The light was never manned, although an officer of the Strahan Marine Board was stationed at Strahan until 19 May 1970, when the Hobart Marine Board took over.
The weatherboard cladding was renewed in 1989.
Technically the front of the cave. I put a bat symbol there because just having a rocky cave wall looked really darn plain. If you're wondering how it sticks into the pot, I used some sticky tack lol. The cave entrance has a bat-esque symbol at the top resembling bat-ears and a security camera.
I'm thinking of attaching a small walk-way to this area that'll connect to a batmobile or batwing display.
What do you guys think? Comments are very much appreciated!
Pipitong Gompa, is an ancient Tibetan Buddhist monastery located in Pipitong Village in the Zanskar Valley.
This was one of those last minute decisions I had made. The sunrise was looking 30 minutes before but sadly the clouds in the back were blocking the sun and this was one of the few images I could salvage and pull out the colors from. This image isn't the normal style of images I post here on my flickr, but I figured It's a nice pleasing image and was worthy of being posted onto my portfolio

This is the rear entrance to an old office building on 6th street here in Austin, Texas. Probably built around 1860 or so. I took it this last weekend while down at the Pecan street festival. There weren't any really great shots from the festival but I was able to get some cool shot from town.
Phew! Here we are, already humpday..;))

Southwold harbour on the Suffolk coast. The entrance to Southwold harbour were the river Blyth flows out to the sea has this small jetty that projects out from the concrete pier which has always caught my eye and it has been on my 'to shoot' list for a few years now. I knew to pull the shot off i would need an interesting sky and this morning the weather forecast promises paid off. Literally either side of this image the sky was plain with no cloud and exactly where i need the action it obliged with a quite marvellous cloud formation and spurt of colour 10 minutes before sunrise. After a few weeks of miserably weekend weather this was most needed and very welcome.
