James St in Hamilton has been undergoing a rejuvenation over the past couple of years resulting in lots of construction as older, derelict buildings are upgraded and made habitable. There is a lot of painted brick in this area and it almost looks like this may have been a test site until the paint ran out.

Thanks for the visit and the comment, Lesley. I agree – it is a great word – was most happy to use it… Btw, your photo put me in mind of a place in our small town which could use some reconstruction but isn’t getting it. Looks exactly like it without the shoot and bin.

Under construction is good in BW, but I like the left one with the yellow tube more.

I’m always happy to hear of derelict places getting fixed up and used again. These photos look so different, I like the old look of the B&W (goes with the old building), but that red paint and yellow chute are quite eye-catching! (That yellow chute – the likes of which I’ve never seen before, but I think is quite clever – would have made this photo work well for last week’s “Yellow” challenge!) 🙂 And the contrast between the painted and unpainted brick is much more apparent.

Thanks so much for your visit and comment on my magpie nest post!

I like both images, but that yellow chute definitely catches one’s attention. Seems like there is a lot of renovating going on all over, which is a good thing. I think we should use what we have instead of always building new (within reason, of course).

Thanks for the visit and comment on my Thursday Challenge photo. Hope you have a nice weekend!
