Clock Tower in Brantford
Clock Tower Brantford
This is one of those “in the right place at the right time” shots. We were down-town Brantford Ont. taking a few pictures when I noticed the sun shining through the top of the Clock tower.
The Historic Places website describes it this way. ” The Federal Building in Brantford is located on a prominent corner lot in the downtown core of the city. It is a monumental, reinforced concrete structure with a variety of stone facings. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style, it features a tall clock tower and a row of engaged Ionic columns along the principal elevations.”

No Rats!
No Rats
This was taken in Brantford at the Train Station. There were some rail cars there and they seem to be a magnet for “Graffiti Artists”. I don’t consider this to be Graffiti Art but it made me smile and I love the texture of the paint and rusty metal.
