Miniature

Two of the many Christmas trees I’ve spotted this season, both of these from my recent trip to Montreal.
The one above is barely 10 centimetres tall … the one below is more like 10 metres!

Nouvelle couche de neige

On this Christmas Eve, we’re headed for a brown (or green) Christmas in Calgary.
Please join me on an imaginary walk through a forest of evergreens covered in a thin layer of fresh, crunchy snow. Take a deep breath of crisp, pine-scented air as you stand under a clear, blue sky punctuated by the low sun at high noon.
Give yourself a Christmas atmosphere as perfect as you want it to be.

Histoire, en bref

This is one portion of a mural on Mount Royal Ave. E. in Montreal, which briefly recounts the history of Quebec. Snapped this photo late last month.

Je l'ai trouvé!

All over Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal, from the more-than-life-size wall art on Boul. Saint-Laurent, above, to the little stickers seen on buildings on and around Ave. du Mont-Royal, below, are four-eyed figures with short messages for passersby.

Under our wing

That’s the edge of Calgary out the window on my flight home last week.

Coloré

The Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art and its skyscraper neighbour, Complexe Desjardins, are looking appropriately festive these days.

Chevreuil affamé

I must say, this one doesn’t look particularly hungry!

Au fil de la journée

There’s something about aerial telephone/utility lines I find fascinating … especially when they intersect in dimming light as seen here. Caught this image while wandering through Montreal’s Griffintown district last week.
