Pas de stationnement

Another one from January: Someone didn’t notice the giant “No parking” sign posted atop a mechanic’s garage in Montreal.

I’ve walked past this wonderful piece of ceiling art at Montreal’s Place-des-Arts many, many times over the years but only upon a more recent did I realize there was something else up in the skylight!

Planets

Planètes

I recently came to the realization I have a series of photos snapped during a visit to Montreal and area at the beginning of 2020 needing to be edited. This, in turn, made me aware of several more photos from Phoenix and Las Vegas from the end of 2019 I have yet to share. All that to say … there will be a few older pictures showing up here over the next little while as I slowly make my way through them.

Here’s the first of the bunch, from inside the Cosmodôme in Laval, Quebec, an interactive museum and educational facility dedicated to space exploration and the science of the solar system. One of the rooms includes a model of the solar system, correct for size but not distance. The little blue ball near the centre of this photo represents Earth, dwarfed by the sun behind it, accompanied by one of the inner planets — can’t remember which! — (centre left), and flanked by Saturn (left) and Jupiter (right).

Escaliers, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

From my very brief visit late last year: A beautiful transition from Montreal’s Underground City up to the ground-level concourse at the Centre de commerce mondial.

A bit of a trippy print mounted outside a residential building on Victoria Avenue in St. Lambert, Quebec. Spotted on a quick walk down the street last month.
