On a walk at noon

This afternoon I took my camera on a walk down Slater Street. I was looking for images for a few school assignments and found this broken light along a very prominent bridge that leads to Slater Street. The broken streetlight with the Canada logo behind it just said something to me, perhaps about the election coming up, perhaps about the economy and uncertainty and broken systems. Maybe we are ready to break out or break apart. Maybe we already have.

I was really focusing on signs and this official sign next to the unofficial tag caught my eye.


After leaving the urban jungle I found myself beneath a very awe-inspiring maple tree, red leaves highlighted against the bright blue sky. It's really Fall.

Hill Cam

Here's a view of Parliament Hill at 7:05am. You can see the red carpet around the eternal flame leading up to the stage. It's the backdrop for the big Canada Day festivities. There's only a few people in this shot but check the cam throughout today and you'll see how many people show up on the hill.

"Packed in like tunafish," as my old friend used to say....

Canada Day Spirit

Happy Birthday Canada
