Excellent discovery!

Thanks, Sami.

City of distorting mirrors, beautiful.

Thanks, Steve.

Exciting reflections, John !

Thanks, Ulrich.

Interesting combination of tipsy tramlines and almost queasy windows. I like the effect of illustration applied to the window reflections - it really brings out the geometry, as Alice might have studied it.

Thank you very much, Bob.

Awesome effect!

Thanks, William.

It's well after midday and half of them still have their blinds drawn.

I see by the date it was a national holiday, TLC. I'm not too sure what building this is, but to the best of my recollection it's an office building and it's on the north side of the street. People may have drawn the blinds in case the holiday was sunny to avoid overheating.

If this is the building I think it was, the exterior has been stuccoed over during the four years since I took this. A popular thing to do here, and city council does nothing about, which confirms my oinion that Toronto is a city of philistines.

Thanks for the explanation, though I was only being scandalised in a mock way. A recent British Chancellor of the Exchequer made censorious remarks concerning people whose blinds were drawn in daylight, the clear inference being that they were feckless idlers who ought to be out working. As if it was any of his business. As for the building in your picture: it is achingly utilitarian and dreary, yet the addition of rock dash stucco (for that is what I presume you mean) must have added no beauty and cost a good deal to boot. Maybe it provides insulation or deters vermin.

My reply was mock-earnest, too, TLC. I had a quick look at the building on Street View and there could well be foam under the stucco, so it could well have been added as insulation. They painted the stucco grey, though. A bright colour might have helped relieve the air conditioning in the summer. But then I've never run an office building in my life.

Love this, John...

Thanks, Diana.

I can't catch how you made it but you did it very cleverly !

Thanks, Léopold. I took this so long ago that I'm not very sure about how I did it myself.

A forgotten earthquake perhaps…...thanks for your reply John.

... j'aime ce graphisme " contrarié " ! ***

Thanks, Robert, especially for the interesting description. It seems pretty appropriate to me.

Awesome reflections and distortions!!

Thanks, Rainer.

Nicely crafted John! :)
