Comedic Relief

I've been meaning to post this for a while now (definition of procrastination), but after acquiring the last piece of the puzzle, or what I would call the piece d'oevre, posting was imminent.

Before further ado I present to you things that made me laugh in London, and deserved a photo.

Ps. The last picture was the icing on the cake (maybe literally).

Really, my own 'on' camera?

High Streets all over London...

Tesco's latest offering. I'll pass, thanks.

Back home...

Our weekend was...warm, cozy, colorful. Time moves at a different pace when one is surrounded by nature, separated from technology and given time to breathe.

This is Spike...he is a huge cuddle..r...

Sanctity

An identifying part of Montreal's heritage (not to mention skyline), St. Joseph's Oratory tends to evoke feelings of a grandiose nature. It's humble glow in the night sky, provides the perfect backdrop for an impromptu photo-op on a perfectly crisp evening.

Impromptu cottage getaway....

A little last minute adventure...a little canceling of all previous plans...a little rushed at 9:30 am...

= a little piece of paradise up North.

Product Placement

Painted advertisements used to be common-place until the use of billboards all but eliminated this practice. These painted ads offer a glimpse into products that were designed, produced, and sold locally, by family owned businesses. Over time, these painted ads began to fade, adding to their mystique, and making their documenting all the more important. The documentation of these ads is something that I enjoy doing. Although difficult to come by (for the most part), if one looks carefully enough, they can be spotted in more industrial parts of cities. Enjoy just a select few from my collection of photographs of painted ads.
