From out of the archives 11/7/2009. A foot bridge across a moat (not original to the fort) then stockade fencing then bulwarks/ramparts all to ward off attacks from the land side of this French and Indian war fort. Fort Niagara is a fortification originally built to protect the interests of New France in North America. It is located near Youngstown, New York, on the eastern bank of the Niagara River at its mouth, on Lake Ontario. HFF Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App KitCam for iPhone. This app was one of two apps (the other being PhotoForge 2) made by the company GhostBird Software. The company has now just been purchased by Yahoo and will be bringing the GhostBird apps and editing technology to the Flickr team. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used the app Handy Photo to edit the image. The edits were made by cloning away a few street bollards and a waste bin. Next I used PhotoToaster to brighten up the image using the Add Flash preset, the Super Sharp FX, a Medium dark Vignette, the Canvas Texture and finally the black inset frame. I then used an app called Mextures to apply some extra lighting and textures to the image. This time I used a built-in Preset called Horace provided by Michael Tucker. After that I used ShockMyPic to help give the image an arty look. Finally I used Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Stirred overlay and the Lade Texture.
The original photo was taken late this afternoon in Spon Street, Coventry City Centre. The image is of a few of the Medieval buildings that form the South side of Spon Street. What is unusual about a lot of these buildings is that although they of of Medieval origin, they formerly stood in other streets in area. The nearest building in the image, number 9, (the Jewellers) dates back to the 15th Century and originally stood in Much Park Street (near to Whitefriars Gate). The buildings furthest away in this image, numbers 14 and 15 are original to Spon Street. Just the same as with yesterday's image of Berkswell Church, this street was featured on TV yesterday (12th June) as part of an ITV Comedy/Drama series called 'Love And Marriage'. The series is based in and filmed around the Coventry area.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Excerpt from centrewellington.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Shortlist/index.htm...:
128 Geddes Street
The Elora Post Office is a handsome example of civic design, stylistically somewhat eclectic, borrowing freely for its inspiration, mostly from Neoclassical motifs rather liberally interpreted, for the round headed openings might be considered Romanesque-Revival. This is combined for greater effect with forcefully rustic treatment of masonry, heavy “Jowled” dormers, and a mansard roof given further emphasis by the corner clock tower. Round arched openings provide further dominance to the principal storey, the ground floor. The elaborately bracketed stonework emphasizes the hip-roof dormers with their single windows and the double pediment to the main entrance. The sandstone walls are quarry-faced, laid in broken course pattern with heavier quoins, often of darker stone to add further interest. Dark red mortar with a convex finish picks out the pink tinge of the sandstone. The building design is a modification of standard Department of Public Works designs of the time. W.A. Mahoney of Guelph was an architect who prepared the detailed drawings and supervised construction. Mahoney abandoned the standard DPW red brick construction in favour of stone, using sandstone brought from Cataract 60km to the east via the Credit Valley Railway (later CPR). Mahoney was also responsible for the Fergus Post office: these two buildings are believed to be the only stone post office of their period extant in Ontario. Approximately 40 by 40 feet, the building is two stories. The second floor was originally planned as a customs office, but the design was changed to make this an apartment for Thomas Godfrey, the Postmaster. It was later occupied by the caretaker. The fine clock tower was originally served by the mechanical clock with an 800lb. bell, imported from England. While replaced by an electric clock in (1984), the original movement is still in place, and is believed to be in operating condition. Despite its eclectic design, the building is a noble addition to the street, proclaiming importance of the mail, a historic means of communication, and a fitting expression of the Federal Government’s public works. At once dignified, substantial and commanding, the building manages successfully not to be out of scale or intimidating. Historical or Associative Value Elora had a Post Office as early as 1835, in the store of J.M Fraser, south of the River. Other early storekeepers were John Craig and Joseph Tytler. Elora Post Office was officially opened on October 6, 1839, with Andrew Geddes as Postmaster. He was followed by Charles Allan until 1856, and by Robert Haig until 1861. Dr. John Finlayson took over until 1870, when he was followed by his son-in-law, W.H. La Penotierre in his store on the south corner of Metcalfe and Mill Streets. John Godfrey became Postmaster in 1884, with office in his store. He was followed by his son, Thomas who continued in the store. The new (present) Post Office was built on Geddes Street beside the Library, on land chosen by the Federal Government, with the official opening in January 1912. Long term faithful assistants included: Miss Norah Webster, serving for 46 years; and Miss Edna Scott for over 22 years. The first of Elora’s rural routes was set up shortly before the post office moved to 128 Geddes St, and the last, R R 3, was established early in 1915. Rural delivery had been resisted by the post office for twenty years because of cost, but eventually the system was adopted under public pressure, particularly after most of the larger centres were receiving door-to-door delivery. Postmaster Jack Wright, had the misfortune to witness the beginning of the decline in postal service during his administration from 1947 to 1977. First, the railway mail service was reduced to twice southbound and once northbound per day. The mailcars were removed completely in 1959 and the service was taken up by truck service. At the beginning there were two trucks per day from Guelph, but this was reduced to a single run per day, and the connection was moved to Kitchener in 1972. Hours of service at the office were reduced several times over the years, and were now determined by the post office department, rather than the local postmaster. In 1971, the Department of Public Works announced plans to demolish the building and replace it with a more attractive and efficient building. A strong protest was spearheaded by John Andrews, an architect living in Elora. This resulted in cancellation of the plans in favour of a modest (30 by 30ft) single storey addition to the rear (west) of the building and renovation of the interior in 1972. Three windows at the rear of the building were enlarged to provide access to the addition, with the stone trim rebuilt with original stone. Similarly, the brass mail slot on the south side of the building was removed and the resulting gap covered with matching stone and mortar. In the Edwardian era, the post office was the key function in a town’s commercial area, and the post office signified the center of town to everyone. Built in 1911 and opened in January, 1912, the Elora Post Office quickly became the focal point of the community. It embodies in its character and location evidence of Elora’s commercial and economic vitality at the time. Through both looks and function, the Post Office fostered development of the village from the river up Metcalfe to Geddes Street. The structure is still a key element in the streetscape of old Elora. Even today, with a vastly different economy and decreased dependence on the mails for communication, the Elora Post Office is a meeting place. On pleasant days, members of the community meet on their way to pick up mail, stop to chat and discuss local affairs. Year Built: 1912 Building Status: Designated
