Looking at buildings




We had tickets for a Gold Class movie and decided to use it today at Crown in the middle of the city. We caught the bus and walked along Queen Street towards Southbank. I don't walk in this part of the city too often. It is a bit different from other parts in that it is more business related banks, offices, people in suits and women in high uncomfortable shoes smoking outside the buildings' glass doors. In my walk I noticed some interesting architecture, like this old safe deposit building that looks like a cut out against the modern high raise buildings in the background. It is like it almost doesn't belong and it is being swallowed by the new era. I thought it was really pretty and had intricate designs on the windows.

Teniamos tickets para una funcion en la Clase Dorada de los Village cinemas y decidimos usarlos hoy en el medio de la city. Nos tomamos el colectivo y caminamos por la calle Queen hacia Southbank. No camino muy seguido por esta parte de la ciudad. Es un poco diferente al resto ya que se nota que es un area mas de negocios, bancos y oficinas. Abundan la gente en traje y mujeres en zapatos de tacones incomodos fumando en las puertas de vidrio de los edificios. En mi caminata note arquitectura interesante como este viejo edificio que parace recortado y pegado delante de los otros edificios modernos. Es casi como que no pertece ahi y esta siendo tragado por la nueva era. Para mi era hermoso, lleno de disenos intricados en las ventanas.
