Sidewalk "stamp"

I found this on Saint-Dizier, inbeded in the sidewalk.  Found it quite beautiful.  Have no clue what is stands for.  Do you?  Oh, and bottom right handiside of photograph is my daughter's shoe.

Chipping paint

The multiple layers of paint all coming off the border of this window jumped out at me as I was getting my photographer eyes back on (now that spring is springing finally, the camera keeps calling my name!)  These window borders are on an abandoned building on Notre Dame street in Old Montreal.  Not many of those left!

Through the looking glass II

What's on the other side?  Previous post regarding glass.

Looking glass 2

The angle, the lighting, the texture of the wood, the shape of the window in the background all come together to give the brasserie a "feeling".  Aloofness, introversion, introspection.  (At least I thought so).  Next time, I will try to get the tables and glasses more, kind of looks cut off to me.

A basket of glasses

Again, from Yountville, CA, Domaine Chandon.  I found this to be a lovely way to carry around way too many glasses of champagne.  And my favourite "prise de vue" - a shallow depth of field to emphasize the sunlit glasses.

Japantown, San Francisco

Japantown, on the run.

Anti gravitational directional flying!

I know, San Francisco again. Ever heard of fleet week? They have planes flying all over the place all week long and this kind of scene is common place. My eyes couldn't belileve it though, these little planes were contorting around the sky like they were toys.

View from my window

I have to be blessed with the most amazing view from my desk window at home.  As I fiddle and piddle on the net, wondering what blog to visit next, I am always amazed to see so many landmarks from here.  I know the photograph isn't great.  I believe there is a great big black speck somewhere inside the camera, but I love this angle.  I wish the city would fix the clock on city hall though, it has been sitting at 12 o'clock for weeks now, if not months.  Oh, and that on the right is my very own personal lomowall (from many lomoclips!)

The Sea breez (no, there isn't an "e")

Another shot from China Camp village. San Francisco Bay is beautiful from this place.

Trefle wheels

A very important place for me.   China Camp village in San Rafael California.  Chinese immigrants fished shrimp here for a while in the 19th and 20th century.  Anything Chinese always has a particular place in my soul.  Many artifacts still lie around, like this cart with especially great back wheels.
