Mount Royal Cemetery with back-lit ice-covered tree

mount-royal-cemetery-backlit-ice-covered-treeI noticed Dale Walsh also likes photographing in Mount Royal Cemetery, an oasis of calm in the middle of Montreal. Freezing rain covered the trees with ice and then a snow storm blanketed the tombstones. I like the way the trunk hides the sun in the left image, but it peeks out in the right image.

Chilies and flowers in Jean Talon Market

Chilies & flowers in Jean Talon Market
Jean Talon Market is an important institution in Montreal, full of vendors of all kinds of fine foods that vary with the season. I asked the vendor in the middle of this scene if I could photograph his stand, which he agreed to while continuing to work threading garlands of chilies.
