Summer's Eve

entre ombre et lumière

J'ai aimé la ressemblance des gens avec une silhouette, Gerard.

Anonymity in a crowd. :-)

One thing Canadians are good at, George.

Bored with that empty lot....

Me, too. Denis. It's been empty for a long time. It turns out there's a dispute with the city about the exact delineation of the lot.

Very nice combination of candid shot and cityscape John.

Thanks, Keith. I always like the contrast between the tiny people and the big buildings -- which are of course the creations of some of those tiny people.

Waiting for a bus - sit in the sun or stand in the shade. I like the subtle reflections of the two tall buildings at the left in the two tall advertisements in the wait-shed. And the the building in the middle, in the sunlit part of the trashcan. Sort of a skyline in miniature.

Now that you mention it, Bob, the posters line up pretty will with the two tall buildings, don't they? Thanks for the insight.

Hmm...gets you thinking of queues...I'd buy a book of queue photographs, fascinating phenomena, a kind of script, hieroglyphs....It'll have been done. Everything just a Google away.

Amazing! Lots of interesting queue threads to follow. Couldn't find a photo book, though.

A live queue-cam would work here.

That's a great idea, Steve. I was trying to take a queue picture today but couldn't get it to work. People were flooding into the atrium of a building downtown to line up for free...cupcakes.

We could have a race to completion, Steve. I'd probably have an unfair advantage, though, because Torontonians love to queue. Years ago they used to say that two Englishmen waiting at a bus stop would form a queue. In Toronto you only need one. In subway stations and boarding streetcars anywhere you can board by either the front or backdoor. The first person to the stop will stand exactly where the front or back door is going to be.
