nothing changes

South Granville

as U2 sang..'all is quiet on new year's day.......nothing changes on new year's day'...especially the rainy weather

the Crescent Court Apartments building dates from 1912...the ground floor currently houses a lingerie store, but a century ago was the site of a Piggly Wiggly self-serve supermarket...it was bought out by Safeway in 1928

So beautiful and cool composition in a rainy morning. V.

Excellent composition with all the lines working together. V

I like the timing. The red is striking and adds vibrancy to the rainy scene. V
Dan Greenberg02-Jan-2021 22:59
I had no idea that they ever had Piggly Wiggly up there. The rain really makes the color vivid and the atmosphere palpable. ~BV~

Classic build and classic Vancouver. Sometimes it is good that things remain the same. V

A beautiful old building perfectly composed on a rainy day with one pedestrian and his umbrella! V

A nice capture of your true Winter weather. Wish we had that as we are far behind in snow and rain totals.

The red awnings turn the gloomy scene into a hopeful one. V

Piggly Wiggly always made me giggle. I just did! Cool atmospheric shot ~V

Beautiful colours in such rainy weather (V)

Love how the red and yellow colors pop in the damp overcast. The umbrella covered figure approaching the edge of the frame is a fitting visual metaphor for the new year and all it may bring. I remember Piggly Wiggly from my childhood but none remain where I am.

This is such a beautiful photograph!
That building with its red awnings is such a visual treasure!
Perfect timing for the placement of this figure walking.
This seems like a new day coming that holds much promise.

The red canopies add a welcome splash of colour on a dreary day, giving it an almost Parisian feel. V
Fong Lam02-Jan-2021 12:18
Dampness and cold pervade the scene with the man striding across the rain-drenched street... and the shops' warm light breaks the dreary sky...V

Great POV for this fine street capture. The bright colors make a nice contrast with the rainy mood. !V
danad02-Jan-2021 10:44
A nice building and a deep "rainy day" mood. Nice juxtaposition of colors. V.

The premises have changed hands and the weather will, too, given a bit more time.
joseantonio02-Jan-2021 04:45
nice and colorful image.V.
LynnH02-Jan-2021 04:09
You did a fine job capturing the rainy day mood, the watery colors and gray framing. V
Dennis Hoyne02-Jan-2021 03:48
A superb street scene, including the figure really makes it top notch!

I had no idea Piggly Wiggly was ever in Canada! The building is beautiful, the streets quiet and the rain gives a sense of melancholy. V
Martin Lamoon01-Jan-2021 23:16
Wonderful street scene, like the person with the umbrella

I know this building well as we have strolled along South Granville many times...but I didn't know about its interesting history, great of you to share this. Love the colors and the contrast you have applied to liven up this dull day. All the best to you for the New Year David. V

It does look a trifle damp

Rainy weather but lots of nice colors. Perfect with the person crossing the street!
Helen Betts01-Jan-2021 21:51
Great POV for this capture. Despite the bright colors, it still looks pretty dreary there.
Walter Otto Koenig01-Jan-2021 21:49
The red awnings brighten things up on a rainy day. Nicely timed to get the man crossing the street.
Nick Paoni01-Jan-2021 21:43
A rainy day scene. Love that you included the fella walking across the street.
