Nice technique!
Can WE do that?

I looked into it; some unfathomable stuff about 'Javascript'. Oy.

Hi, not being technical geek myself, I managed to use this technique thanks to this tutorial: http://bavotasan.com/2009/creating-a-jquery-mouseover-fade-effect/ , so I wouldn't say it's unfathomable
. I don't know if it would be possible to use this script on this forum though.
Anyway, thanks for visiting my rephotography blog.

Hi stefbra,
I hope to emulate you someday; I've bookmarked that link.
Thank you for creating it.
All my best from Toronto,

I found this link from stefbra's blogpage. It's a 'Berlin Then and Now', and well done too.

Sometimes you can come across a bit of Toronto history unexpectedly. I was on my way to dinner on Spadina Avenue when I saw this house. This is Cecil street, south side, between Beverley and McCaul. I can't read these signs but what wonderful preserved relics of Toronto's early Jewish heritage. My kudos to the owner of that house for preserving them. And those doors. Man 'o man those doors; I'm weak kneed just looking at them again.
I also include a picture of a great old vintage bus that sped by me as I was taking a picture of the house. Krispy Kreme will soon open a location on McCaul, just north of Dundas. Their baked goods are exceptional, in the opinion, and to the eventual physical detriment of, this writer.

Heya r937, Thank you.
It was a UT member brewster's idea. I thought why not; I'm on Facebook anyways. It's quite a nice community there, just as nice as my virtual home here.

June 12 addition.
Market street looking S from Front towards Esplanade.
This building has been vacant for at least 15 years. I wonder what's up? Another branch of The Fish Market still does business in Ottawa's Byward market.
Reviving a 3 year old thread to add an updated picture. I hope everyone had a good Canada Day.

Remarkably good brick remediation there. Makes me wonder whether they didn't just reconstruct a new facade using new bricks.

This was discussed in another thread and apparently they are the original bricks, many turned round so the old outside side is inside.
