Bonheur éphémère

This ice cream cone is topped with bitter sprinkles, clearly … painted on a wall along Avenue Mont-Royal in Montreal.

Don’t stare too hard! This swirly pattern was found at the entrance of an apartment building in Montreal.

Rue Saint-Charles

If I think Main Street, Quebec, this is the stereotypical streetscape that pops into my mind — a bank, a couple of cafés and restaurants, a liquor store … and, of course, a church. This is Rue Saint-Charles in the Old Longueuil neighbourhood near Montreal. Snapped on a wander back in February.
