To the little girl in the pink jacket, the little patch of raised stone adorned with metallic shapes was just something else at the park for her to play with.
As she gingerly balanced herself, her mother extended a guiding hand and gently scolded her: “You can’t walk on that.”
The girl couldn’t have been older than five, couldn’t have known what her mom knew. It wasn’t any old structure in any old park on any other day.
The bits of metal spelled out Hélène Colgan, the letters adorning one of 14 stone markers for 14 young women, victims of a massacre at the University of Montreal’s École Polytechnique in 1989.
Saturday, Dec. 6, marked a quarter century since this horrific act of violence.
The little girl and her family were among many who passed through this long, narrow memorial park just a stone’s throw from the university.
Flowers and candles paid silent tribute to so many lives lost far too soon.

Historic Tallinn, with the modern city behind it. This image was snapped back in August from the tower at St. Olaf’s Church.

The cruise ship looks a bit out of place … but rest assured it’s right at home in Flåm harbour, one endpoint of the cruises along Norway’s Sognefjord.

This is a classic Montreal viewpoint. I’d never been as an adult — and drawing on my (admittedly dusty) recollections from my youth, it’s quite possible I’d never seen Montreal from here at all until now.

One of my favourite little stretches of street in Amsterdam, just a few steps away from a cool little street market. Snapped this image on my visit there in August.
