The August theme for the month for the City Daily Photo blog community is streetlamps and I doubt if I could find more beautiful ones than those found outside our Old City Hall on Queen St. The Richardsonian Romanesque buiding was completed in 1900 and the whole exterior is covered in rich details as are the lamps. I love the carving on the sandstone base as well as the details in the metal lamp itself. To see more streetlamps click here.
Absolutely stunning. The carving on the sandstone is just gorgeous, add in the ornamented lamps, and I agree, you couldn't find any more beautiful. Lucky, lucky you and your town to have such beautiful everyday ornaments.

Sturdy and artistic at the same time!
A beautiful street lamp that fits perfectly with it's surroundings.
quite heavy!
I like it when a street light has several lights! Like a tree with blossoming flowers!
The base really connects the lamp to the building.
Now that is ONE solid street lamp. Does it put out a lot of light?
An ideal choice, Pat!
A classic example.
Oh, this one is a beauty in every way, RedPat. I am a big fan of Richardsonian Romanesque.
It's a beauty.
Wow! What's better than a street light? A whole bunch of street lights!! Beautiful detail on EVERYTHING!
