It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Dickson-Hill-HC...:
Dickson Hill is one of the most unique communities in the City of Cambridge.
Dickson Hill is named for the Honourable William Dickson, a prominent Galt settler who arrived to the area in 1816. Dickson is credited with founding the Village of Galt due to his considerable land holdings and was responsible for much of the commercial development on the west bank of the Grand River.
His son, William Dickson Jr., acquired most of the lands that currently make up the residential area of Dickson Hill. His own residence, located at 16 Byng Avenue was constructed in 1832. The development of the residential component occurred over several decades and by a series of developers. Florence Dickson, niece to William Dickson Jr., and his heir, controlled the development of this area until the 1890’s.
Dickson Hill features an extremely high concentration of significant buildings of various types: residential, institutional, commercial and manufacturing. In addition to the buildings, key elements that define the character of Dickson Hill are:
• Tree-lined streets;
• Distinctive globe street lights; and
• Prominent urban public spaces and landscape features.
The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.
Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

added a bit of my own "fuzzy" intelligence 😛
Do you feel "betrayed" when (if) you found out a photo was an Artificial "photo"... are we getting used to being "lied" too..
I for one think we are blurring the future. Can we trust what we see? Do you accept this "new" way of looking at things?
Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer.
here a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
“I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”

The Nose, El Capitan.
Viewing El Cap from the Valley floor, it is very hard to get a sense of scale; it just doesn't seem as big as it really is. When you spot a climbing group you get a clue, and when you realize the climbers you can barely make out are only a few hundred feet up the cliff ...

Every time I come to San Francisco, there is some kind of smart-ass billboard along the highway ... "ask your developer," it says.
Ask her what? Whether Twilio is better than some other provider? Whether the cloud is here to stay? Who comes up with these crazy signs?
Fortunately, it doesn't matter very much ... by the time I come back again, this billboard will have been replaced by something else just as mysterious.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov 21, 2015
************************
In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.
I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.
The comprehensive review can be found on my blog here:

Color reversal, so first develop with BW developer, then with RA4 bleach and fix. (EP2 is not really made for RA4 but it works)
I once bought a big box of expired color paper, Labaphot, it appears to be from about 1989, it is EP2 paper which came before RA4 paper. I thought if would be worth to see if could be used for some experiments. So I started yesterday look what it can do still. Color paper is normally not known to be that long active. In any case after the UV flashlight which I all processed in light, today I went for the darkroom. Turns out the paper still has good active silver and the coulor couplers work except yellow seems to missing fully.
Despite all the events that happened this year, I managed to visit the coast! This time, we went to Mandre, located on island Pag, and there I caught those boats anchored in the city harbour.

I don't know when this office block was built (1970s?) but I assume it's cheaper to knock it down rather than refurbish fit for modern needs. The developers are planning to replace it with housing.

april 3, went with some friends to the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl. Two actors gab a bit, act a bit, sing, and take you to pubs. The pubs themselves are unremarkable*, but everything else is informative and/or good fun.
