This is Council House in Perth Western Australia, well part of it. Designed by Howlett and Bailey Architects, it was opened by the Queen in 1963 following the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. It has been the subject of much debate, mainly between the government and general public and the architect community. Dubbed an “eye-sore” by the punters it was scheduled for demolition until the RAIA (Royal Australian Institute of Architects) stepped in an rallied for it to be saved, I remember signing the petition myself some years back. Following a much needed renovation, it was (thankfully) admitted onto the State’s Heritage Register much I think to the govenment at the times disgust.

DOOR WITH DOVE ~ SOUTH ST COTTAGE South Street, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand This cottage is part of a small group of houses in South St, Nelson, New Zealand, that are protected by legislation for their historical value, against development, modernisation or demolition. They have played their part in the city’s story and will remain as a reminder. I think the Dove window might be a more recent addition, allowed because it doesn’t detract from the heritage look of the place.
Two adjacent storefronts in Dawson City, in Canada’s Klondike gold rush region, caught my eye a few minutes after I arrived there last year. I was probably 65-70 metres away, because I was walking along the banks of the historic river. But I had two cameras around my neck, one with my 18-125mm lens and the other with my 70-300mm lens, so I was able to compose a really tight frame from where I stood. It might look as if these are two separate images “stitched” together electronically – but it’s one image, simply depicting two different styles, cheek by jowl. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K200D with a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 400, focal length 300mm.

But that’s what trompe l’oeil does….it tricks your eye. I saw these “kids” out of the corner of my eye and it took me a minute to see that they weren’t real!!! They were painted on the wall!! Also, the “concrete” below the brick is painted on as is the door….amazing!! Best viewed larger to see detail.

We like to see full frontal views of any kind of facade. This means the side view of a house only. No complete views of a building, no skies, no surrounding trees. The facade typically includes a wall, windows, doors, the roof, chimneys. The image should be tightly cropped to show just the facade or its details.
