Some decorative details adorning some anonymous building in the government section of downtown Halifax, NS. Took this from across a narrow street looking up 4 stories. Had I been smart I'd have entered the cube farm across the street and gone up to the floor opposite it and taken the photo. So I figured I run this up the flag pole, which I left in the photo. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

The phrase "I ran up the flagpole" has two meanings to me, Wendell. I have to wonder which one this was. The carvings are magnificent and I like the unusual angle.

Wendell - I think the juxtaposition of modern architecture in the background and this older more ornate building is terrific. That might be lost in an 'on the level' photo. I see the title of the photo in the pilasters. The history behind them would be interesting. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
I agree with Thad about the old and new being an interesting mix in this - I would have cloned out the flagpole however as I believe it detracts slightly from your good comp.

Really ornate window in the middle and nice color to the building.

It looks like the Goddesses come bearing fruits from their harvest Wendell. I too like the angle.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Wendell, I too like the contrast between the two buildings. The old versu the new. The variety of building materials in the two.

I can see what you meant by "Harvest" The figures all have fruit and vegetables in their arms and on there dress. What type of building is this by chance? I like the image and the architecture!

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes."
The colours are certainly harvest-like Wendell. Also the figures look like corn dollies!
