Close up

It's still Thursday throughout Canada, but in a mere 20 minutes it'll be Friday in Newfoundland and Labrador, so I'm not jumping the gun by much.

I thought I'd fixed that ghost/halo on the end of the banana at centre-left, but it showed up again after uploading. I'm too lazy to fix it at the moment. Maybe later. Inspired of course by Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". More tributes: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1294982?with=45547580

To see vast expanses of radish type Z.

For bigger bunnies, type Z or click the pic. Thanks to Gisela Plewe. I was reminded of her comment on my next-to-last photo when I saw this, so took a bird's-eye view. For Sight and Sound, aNNa schramm suggested "You're My Chocolate" by Savages as an accompaniment for this photo. I think it establishes a very interesting and thought-provoking mood for the photo. sp here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwwkjI65Q0A&list=PL341F2C9A07FE8D16&index=1

Toronto.

An old photo that I have never posted before. Equal Pay Day is observed internationally on the day on which women's wages since January 1 of the year before equal men's wages for the previous year alone. This was taken in Toronto on April 19, 2016. This year the day was observed on April 9 (as someone trained in statistics I must point out that trends cannot be inferred from two observations). This demonstration was taking place across the street from Queen's Park, the seat of the provincial parliament. I assume that's because provincial public servants were taking part as union members while their contracts banned union activity on company property.

I like the large version. Your opinion may vary.

Re-edit of a photo from 2010. The bigger version (type Z or click the pic) looks brighter and, to my mind, a bit bizarre, although in a way I find agreeable.
