Vers St. Boniface

This beautiful pedestrian bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, links the Forks area just off Union Station with the city’s traditionally francophone area, St. Boniface.
(The photo above was captured with an SLR; the bottom one was snapped with my iPhone.)

Hungry birds

These stickers are all over the public market at Granville Island in Vancouver. Apparently the gulls are voracious to the point that vendors need to be explicit about not refunding patrons for food lost to hungry birds.

Vancouver: City of cherry blossoms

This is a sure sign of spring in Vancouver: The city’s many cherry trees are in full bloom, give the place splashes of bright pink here and there.

A couple of photos taken in Montreal recently, reflecting some slightly pessimistic views of the future.

Avenir inquiétant (I)

Above is a polar bear displayed as you’d see in a museum … as if it’s gone extinct. Part of artwork in a campaign against global warming.
Below is some sticky graffiti on St. Laurent Boulevard.
