Found still life
| |
|
|
|
I swear that I didn't arrange any of the objects in this photo, not even the cardboard box. This was a still life just waiting around for someone to take its picture or paint it. Or perhaps even sculpt it. I did not have my chisel to hand, unfortunately.
Happy Fence Friday!

Today (Victoria Day/Fête des Patriotes) is unofficially the start of summer in Canada, but here's a picture of spring.
Today is often known as May Two-Four in English Canada, to honour both Queen Victoria (whose birthday is on the 24th) and beer (a case of beer is called a two-four). Commonwealth heritage or what, eh?
Have a good day wherever you are.
Gone but not forgotten

Another tribute to Honest Ed's in Toronto. The PiPs at upper left show three more views of the store.
Ed's has now been replaced by a Big Bland Box. It's as if there's a conspiracy to banish colour from Toronto.
Eugène Atget would have loved this place.

Misterioso

Herb Riddle noted that this photo reminded him of a xylophone, and then I realized it reminded me of a piano, and that Thelonius Monk's "Misterioso", with him on piano and Milt Jackson on vibraphone, had a good title for this photo, so I'm submitting it to Sight and Sound. Thanks to Herb for the inspiration.

Falun Dafa (aka Falun Gong) assembly at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, on May 17, 2016.
Taken through one of their banners.
