    Beautiful building! I wouldn't mind living here... though probably way over my budget. Very nice shot!

    Cheers from Montreal!

    Thanks, Luis. It was such a bright and sunny day and I wasn't sure about the exposure. I'm glad you like it because I was a little unsure about posting it and whether I did the right thing there.

    What an elegant fire station!

    PRAISE FOR RED

    What is there about the color red
    That makes me want to stand on my head,
    And give a loud shout or two of praise
    For crimson tints that brighten my days?
