Demolish for Construction

I took this photo through a line of fencing...
Another part of downtown was taken down (previously there was a dollar shop bookstore), and is now destined to be a high-class apartment building. With so much construction going on in the city, I wonder what it will look like 10 years today... ?

Waves on the outside

It's rare to see graphics as part of the exterior of building walls. So when I saw this building near the edge of town, I knew I had to take a photo of it. Plus, coming from a graphic design background, the use of design creates room for thought about design as 'identity'. For some strange unknown reason, I had a feeling the building was a gym, but I was wrong... although now I don't remember what it was I saw when I peered through the window. I think it was a shop... or maybe... mmm... my bad memory... =[

To December...

Perhaps a little too early for Christmas?

Step back...

Back up to the other side of the stree, and you can see the roundness of the building...

Looking at you

It's been hard keeping my blog updated daily with job hunting. I was out of town in New York City for the past week for job interviews. But now I am back... so I will try my best to share photos with you folks. I thank all of you who have continued to come back to my page in spite of the intermittent updates.

This is a closeup of building facade located downtown, which happens to have a sculptural object of a head. I am not too sure of the significance nor the history, but it is the only sculptural figure I have come across seen at a building facade. Another view tomorrow...

Look up... !

Now look at who's up there? Some window cleaners up on the top floor of a 10-storey(?) building caught my eye as I was strolling around downtown scavenging for some shots. I really admire their fearlessness of heights — I'd probably just freeze the moment I step off the edge... heheh! =P

Smiles

And look at who's all photogenic?
Look at previous blog, and you shall see double...

What it's become...

So this is what happened to the wrapped up bundle that I took a photograph of a few months ago. Here we have a little desingated flower display with a informational plaque that talks about the architectural history of Providence. These plaques are located along the sideway of busy streets around town. I suppose the set up is part of a cultural/history tour for visitors and tourists.
