Fins
I have always liked the facade of this building, the Gerald Larkin academic building, at Trinity College at U of Toronto. Winter is a good time to see the 3-storey high limestone fins that line this south side of the building before the leaves on the trees come out. I have shown you the arcade which they enclose before (click here).
The CDP theme for May is "Squares".
Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice looking building. Those trees look interesting too. I see you also have a nice blue sky!
ReplyDeleteGreat symmetry!
ReplyDeletefins is a great word for them. :)
ReplyDeleteNice straight lines make it very attractive.
ReplyDeleteThe fins go the other way on our building, shades you from the sun
ReplyDeleteThose "fins" really do add interest to the building.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it's a great façade!
ReplyDeleteA building that points to a certain era but pleasing in its way.
ReplyDeleteI do like the style of the building.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of these lines in buildings. Straight and simple looking.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very 60s-ish. The fins provide interest and light/dark that many buildings from the same time period do not.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like alot of the buildings built in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteNice building.

I remember your first shot so clearly, hard to believe it was over half a year ago!
ReplyDeleteGrand building. Great perspective!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they were called "fins." I like learning something new.
ReplyDeleteIt does look good from the outside, but I love the other shot looking down the passage way inside. Sorry to hear that you're still having so much rain Pat, we had a few showers then nothing, bit more over the weekend hopefully.
