Allure western

A figure harkening back to the Old West seems to have been applied randomly on a wall in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal district, as seen back in winter 2020.

Puppet Industries, Stockholm, Sweden

This is possibly the most colourful and nicely decorated garbage truck I’ve seen, anywhere. Spotted on the streets of Stockholm — another oldie from my visit to northern Europe back in 2014.
