banks usually have precious collections of arts. i see most banks do. sad thing is, most banks don't allow just anybody to take photos of them. much so allow cameras inside their premises. back in the philippines, banks do not allow camersa, even cellphones, inside. am not sure here in canada if they do have the same policy. but am sure they, too, restrict taking photos inside. even some malls, too.
these are great collections. and great shots, too.
I enjoyed these three photos and the ‘brass horse’ in your previous post. I’ve got to start carrying my camera with me … just because. I’m anything BUT wordless on both blogs today. Hugs and blessings,

It feels like there's all kinds of symbolism I'm missing the point of... but they are nice to look at.
These images are very harmonious and pleasant.
Winning post, Sandy.
You find the most interesting things! Very nice!
wow! awesome!
I'm sure they all mean something, but I'm clueless...
Happy WW!
Nice pictures! looks like two Griffon in the top one.
I have probably walked by those 50 times and never noticed them. Very nice capture, exposure and composition is great.
that is nice of arts...thanks drop at my ww post.
There seems to be so many different cultures represented there. Marvellous.

Very unique and interesting art work for a bank. I love the detail.
interesting how you were able to select the most interesting parts of the building! have a good week, sandy!
I love architectural details like this. They don't bother with them on modern buildings... I guess they'd cost too much.
Nice captures!

That's very beautiful and so interesting that it's on a bank. You have a great way of capturing details wherever you are.
I like wordless Wednesday...I get to see so many new things. Great post for that very reason!
Sandi
Love the symbols-makes me wonder what they think about our present banking crisis.
Intricate carving and art.
very interesting, not sure what they have to do with banking maybe it's just artsy?
These are beautiful Sandy! Happy WW
Belle serie
buildings anymore. Happy WW
Amazing images. They make me want to do "brass rubbings". :0)
Fabulous art work...this is a bank? Whoa...I love it.
I was out of town on Monday and I need to catch up...I'm gonna go searching for "My favorite things" now.
They are lovely...
Cool shots, ours is up as well at burntofferings and more at bernies fotoblog.
Have a great WW!!
Nice to be so observant. I wonder how many actually see the art on the building?
Beautiful!
Peace - D
Great shots. Very cool..Happy WW:)
These don't fit on a bank, they're very nice though!
i wonder what these work of art depicts. looks like it is portatrying those times when people are exploring other islands.
Great pictures, as usual! :) Just think of all the history behind those!
Judging from these images, Sandy, I'd say that the banks in Waterbury are classier than the banks here. Happy WW.
Nice pieces of carvings... A lot of people come in and go out of banks but I bet a lot of them don't even notice the carvings. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful brass reliefs...
Is the bank still in business today? (sigh)
Beautiful works of art!
Happy Wednesday!
Made of brass or wood? Anyway, they are beautiful and looks great on a bank. :)
Historical buildings are great art sites, now buildings are kinda just put together without much thought to beauty and meaning.
Those are very impressive images.
I wonder what they represent for the bank, though...
Happy WW! Very unique images...
I invite your blog readers to see one result of our nation's economic crisis ... the Zero-Dollar bill. (smile)

Cool... very classic and historical.
Interesting images on a bank I should say hmmmm looks like the interior designer was in to egyptian or greek designs :)
Love the details. Great selections.
Very nice! I'm not sure what it means though... Mine is posted HERE. Hope you drop by! Happy WW!~
Very interesting! Happy WW!
Nice images. Thanks for your visit earlier. Happy WW! :)
These are wonderful images. I would love to see the rest of the building.
These are very interesting, Sandy. There is surely a story to go with them, yes?
Cool.
Those are works of art! But they do not seem very bank-like.
My bank isn't that pretty, it's more... square and brown and boring!
Wonderful photos! this only shows that we can find art everywhere - if we really look for it :-)
I don't know exactly where Waterbury is, but it sounds British. The first image looks very East Indian to me.
Great photos!
Very interesting works. Brass cast? Too bad today's modern architecture largely embraces the utilitarian vs. artistic. Great catch!

I love the images you see on old building. Thanks for sharing these.
These are beautiful images too...it's wonderful the things you can find if you choose to really SEE.
Those are beautiful. Happy WW! Sorry mine is late.
Wow - these are fantastic. Somehow I don't think the ultra-spare modern logos will be as interesting 100 years from now...
Loved the pictures. Beautiful sculptures.
Thanks for dropping by; I hope you had a great WW day!
My WW post...
Intricate carvings! They are all lovely and interesting.
is this an old bank? in here, the banks are all modern, steel and glass.
My goodness these are lovely. Such artistry, thanks for sharing Sandy.
HUGS, G
I wish we did more of this today. So beautiful. I would love to work in such a building.
These are amazing. I love the detail. Happy WW and thanks for stopping by my blog.
