Fernwood Whitehouse
More from Fernwood while waiting for pie to be made ready at Patisserie Daniel, this time a couple of blocks away on Mason Street.
It took me several tries to get these images processed to my satisfaction. The difficulty lay the turquoise trim and pastel green door – I was a bit infatuated with the colour and was trying to get it right along with the patterns. Finally, when I threw out the colour I could get the ad hoc and rickety railings the way I wanted them.

This brings back memories: my grandparents lived in the 2200-block of Fernwood, in a house not too unlike this one!
Thanks Laurie – this is a few blocks away on the other side of Cook St, but it has much the same feel as the core of the Fernwood area. The first place I lived when I moved out from home was upstairs in a house a bit like this a few blocks from here as well. And now my daughter and her family live in Fernwood in one of these old houses too.
The house and fence (?) really stand out from the background on these. The second shot is fascinating with all the horizontal and vertical lines. It’s a great composition.
Thank you Ken. Fence? is a good way of phrasing it – there is not much fence left in places. The deck railing and the fence do compliment each other nicely and without a lot of effort could be brought forward away from the background – the lighting was just right for that – bright but not glaring.
I love all the stacked lines. B&W really suits it very well.
Thanks – that was what caught my eye – the lines all over the place. Once I got the colour out of my eyeballs, everything else fell into place.
