Black and White Monday – Dominion
This was a quick snap as I walked past downtown Halifax’s Dominion Public Building, a lovely Art Deco era sandstone and granite structure. You can’t see in this photo but there’s a little dome on top, too. There are some nice deco touches as well. It was originally the central Post Office and later was used for various government offices. It was the tallest building in the city for quite some time. Read more about it here.

Black and White Monday
This is a photo that I’ve probably blogged before. It’s one of my favourites though it wasn’t always. It was a colour film photo that was drab and non-descript. When I scanned it, a few years after I took it, I played around with it in Photoshop and this was the result. I was quite pleased with it. Black and White photography can really “pop” a photo, with contrasting light and textures.
I was on a walking tour through Richmond and we walked along the Thames towards a pier. There was a boat builder just beside this where we stopped to hear about him persuing his craft using traditional methods. We later boarded a boat to sail to Hampton Court where we had a guided tour of the highlights of the palace. I really want to go back again someday and explore it all.
