Day 306 - The photographer's gain

Some time ago, I posted a photograph of a man on a crane, working on the top of the Fredericton City Hall clock tower. What I thought was going to be a quick fix has turned into a major renovation of the outside of this historic building.

This new photo shows the tunnel they've constructed that leads into the city tourism information bureau on the first floor of the City Hall building. Looks inviting, doesn't it? "Come on in and find out what we're all about!" it shouts at the passing tourist.

The tourist's loss is the photographer's gain, as this scaffolding-and-mesh structure serves as an interesting subject, with its many lines and colours, the perspective it provides as it moves into the background and the contrast between the structure itself and the curved shape of the bricks on the ground. A challenge to get the lighting right but a neat photo nonetheless.
