Autumn's russet and rusty brown comes to buildings as well as to trees. And it also serves to remind me that old buildings can have a certain charm in their dilapidation that they may lose when they are "restored." Heritage is fine but the obsession with having old buildings look as if they were new is a little weird. It's akin to face-lifts, botox and cellulite suction pumps. Anyway, I particularly like the precarious porches and the red flowers on this "senior" in Victoria's Chinatown.

You have a great eye for images Benjamin. I like this shot even though the black poly is quite jarring.
I agree with you about the typical rebuilds. I suppose even brick and iron have lifespans, but I hate to see them go, or get overly, artificially propped up. Great shot.
The rustic look somehow looks beautiful on your photo. I agree with Wayne. You have keen photographic eyes.
I agree with you wholeheartedly...I mean, like or not, we all age, people and buildings!
I just love this, and also appreciate the patina of age.
great capture, fantastic treatment
the Backside is often more interesting than the Frontside.
