A window view to the demolition of the south side of Colborne St in Brantford. The buildings demolished were 140 pre-confederate buildings that had been allowed to decay. Now these office windows have an unobstructed view and lots of afternoon sunlight.

  the buildings had become quite ugly in the end, and the wide open view is rather nice.

Too bad about the old buildings, I think. So much character is lost when we let the old decay.

It is almost like they left the tagged section of the wall standing as art. Must be nice for the office-dwellers to have more light now.

Hi Lesley, I see some mural paintings on the old wall. I have been interested in art and murals and I have been taking some photos around downtown Los Angeles Art District.

The tear down of the old wall/building is nice for the high rise! Enjoy your weekend:)

  there is much more sky than there would have been a month before this shot was taken!
  and I rather liked the line of clouds that mimicked the bridge.
