favourite graffiti

14/07/2014 Leave a Comment

This is my favourite graffiti so far in Montreal. There is more every time that I look at it. I walked around Montreal in the morning but still didn’t have the best light. I added the fog to decrease the impact of the cars – but it may have brought more attention to them. via 500px

I’m sorry. (burn out? illness? lazy?)

27/06/2014 5 Comments

Where has the time gone? I can’t believe that it is almost July. This post is to recognize the fact that I’ve been absent or doing the minimum lately. I’m sorry. I have no real excuse. I have been dealing with illnesses and doctor appointments and that takes a lot of energy but it has […]

Chinstrap Penguins and Families

Chinstrap penguins

I love the chinstrap penguins  (Pygoscelis antarctica). I took this photo at one of the weather stations in Antarctica. I love how the black chin line makes them look like they are smiling all the time. And the strut! They look like they don’t have a care in the world, even though sea lions weren’t […]

Dreaming of Thailand

31/01/2014 Leave a Comment

The last few days have been extra-rushed so I started dreaming about relaxing on a beach. Maybe instead of rushing to meetings, I could take a slow, relaxing trip on a long-tail boat from one beach to another. It feels like this week is a bit of a motorboat week (seen in back). I hope that […]
