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.

Stop driving

Fron a visit to Berkeley, Calif., in March 2010.
Here is my Flickr set from that trip to San Francisco and area.

This chicken is cheering for everyone, it seems.
Back in the fall, dressed up for former Stampeders QB Henry Burris …
Hard days for Hank
… and today, playing the role of Flames net minder Miikka Kiprusoff.
Kipper's chicken
The ultimate bandwagon jumper. In a good way.

Motorheads

This is street art put up on some boarded-up windows in Curtis Block, which stood on Macleod Tr. across from the Stampede grounds in Calgary. It’s something you will never see again: The building was demolished in July 2008.
