I don't remember exactly where the shot was taken.There was a parking lot across the street from the building,the redbrick building (in the reflection) might've been to the left of it.When I walked inside the block,the reflection of the redbrick building caught my attention.I wanted to squeeze in as much of the reflection into the frame as I could when I took the shot.

Presbyterian Church was built in 1901 at the corner of Peel and Colborne Streets with dedication services being held in December 1901. In 1912 it was decided that a larger church was needed and the corner stone for the new building, on an unoccupied section of the same site, was laid on September 12, 1912 (Brantford Weekly Expositor, September 19, 1912, p. 15) with the opening of the church in June 1913. The original church was used as a Sunday school. The church was named for Princess Alexandra of Denmark who later married Edward VII, not because of its proximity to Alexandra Park. This congregation refused to join the United Church of Canada in 1925. Major renovations were done in 1978 with most of the original building being demolished for a new entrance and parking lot

St James’ Court has a historical provenance dating back to Tudor England and the court of Queen Elizabeth I. It is during this tumultuous period that a prestigious landowner and treasurer to the Queen, Lord Dacre, drew up a scheme to build almshouses on the “Tothill Fields” of Westminster.
The small cottages known as the Emmanuel Almshouses were built on the current site of the hotel, to house and educate 20 underprivileged children. This charitable endeavor prospered over the years, culminating in five schools, identifiable by their distinct blazers as Bluecoat, Greencoat, Greycoat and Browncoat schools. In 1701 the cottages were replaced by ‘the most picturesque Almshouses in London’.
Then in 1897, a retired military man, Major Pawley, who learned his architectural trade in the Royal Engineers, acquired the site. The proposed construction of eight redbrick prestigious townhouses was drawn up, at great cost, and to the highest of architectural standards. These are the buildings that make up the two Taj hotels today, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, and St. James’ Court A Taj Hotel.
Due to its outstanding location right in the heart of London’s royal, cultural, political and social elite, Major Pawley’s vision was to create an oasis of calm and sophistication for the aristocratic and political establishment, who would not only pay to stay but who would also relish in its exclusivity. Thus began the most sought after and fashionable London address for prominent guests to enjoy a home away from home experience, in walking distance of all the most significant locations: Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St James Palace, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral.
Each townhouse was named (the Almoners, Dukes, Regents, Queens and Priors) in keeping with its fascinating historical legacy; names that they hold to this day. All maintain the patina of their yesteryears, but in distinctly individual and contemporary style.

This is an older shot that I re-processed the other day. Sometimes images can have a different feel.

The Government Museum - one of the largest in the world - dates to 1851. It's built in a handsome, red-brick Indo-Saracenic style. Here's a colorful view of some arches on its back side.
This is a much older shot that has been reworked. I was just tripping through some old photographs and saw this and some others. I hope you enjoy.

Prescott Lighthouse
A redbrick building, constructed along the waterfront in Prescott in 1900 by the Imperial Starch Company, served as a Dominion Lighthouse Depot from 1903 to 1985. During World War II, war materials were manufactured in the building. The Canadian Coast Guard occupied the building in 1962 but moved into a new facility in 1985, and the old lighthouse depot was demolished in 1986.
An oversized lantern room that was mounted atop the lighthouse depot and used to train lighthouse keepers was retained and placed atop a tower built by the local Rotary Club at the harbour in 1989. The base of the modern tower is home to an ice cream shop during the summer, and visitors were allowed to climb the tower and admire a Fresnel Lens for some time, but due to a change in building codes climbing to the top is no longer permitted.
Since 2003, the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival has been presenting plays in an outdoor amphitheater near the harbour in July and August.
This is a cute rural cottage in Virginia. It needs a little TLC, but it is still being lived in. I wanted to get a picture of this fence before that overweight tree on the left cracked the slats in half. I am surprised that this particular section of fence hasn’t heaved out of the ground given all the roots.
Downtown Paris on our Jingle Bell Night. It is always a good time but this was also a good time of the evening for some window shots.
