Old 'n' New

I took this last july while I was in Toronto. I always liked this photo because the subjects were very minialist. Nothing stands out took much and your eyes are lead where I want them to go. The black and white really went with a simplicity piece my old boss asked me to do. Also I liked the drawing my firend was doing.  

This was taken just outside my house a few days ago, it was just before sunrise. After scouting early in the morning for days the weather was finally perfect. I also had time to take plenty of picture and finally explore more camera settings such as white balence and metering. I like this photo because the colors were nothing like I used to shoot and blue has a very sharp contrast with the morning sky.
