Last Minute Door
I know it’s called “Thursday Doors” but Norm gives us until Saturday at noon to participate. So here is a last minute door that I felt was worth sharing.
In case you need a translation: *Washing won’t wipe the smile away*
15/Fifty-Two, Rap This Way
I was out shooting with friends this morning on the colorful streets of Plateau Mont-Royal. We came upon these guys who were filming a rap song video. We watch them for awhile and here are a few images I captured from the moment.
Two for the price of one
Hi folks,
This week for Norm’s 2.0 Thursday Doors Challenge I am back in Montreal’s alleys again where I spotted something unusual, a “door within a garage door”. Not quite sure how well it works or if it works at all but I felt it was worth sharing.

Blackboard Door
Honestly, the child in me LOVES ❤️ that door!!! What a cool idea to please your little ones.
It is located at the back of the house in the alley so it doesn’t detract from the look of the property from the front.

11/Fifty-Two, Guy-Concordia
Side-by-side trains seen at the Montreal Metro Station Guy-Concordia; static and in motion.
Molson
If I say Molson, you are probably thinking “beer” or of our hockey team the “Montreal Canadiens”.
As far as cemeteries go, Notre-Dame-Des-Neiges Cemetery is a wonderful one. I was there last Sunday on a photography outing with some friends. One never knows when a door will show its face kind of saying: “Wouldn’t I be a good one for Norm’s Thursday Doors?”
While strolling through the massive site, I came across the family tomb of the Honorable John Molson. Therefore I decided to part from my usual grungy/graffiti style this week to share my finding with you.
10/Fifty-Two, Losing my Religion
“Losing My Religion” the title of a 1991 R.E.M song is what came to mind when I looked at this photograph on my computer monitor for the first time. I wasn’t quite sure why, since I am not a religious person. Although the photo was shot through the stained glass window of a chapel in a cemetery, for me it is not about religion, but more about symbolism or belief. However, in 1991, I did love that song. When I started to read the lyrics, I realized the song is not about religion, either. When I looked into the meaning of the song, it is actually about a “crush”, a romantic obsession. The line “losing my religion” refers to “an expression from the southern region of the United States that means losing one’s temper or civility, or “being at the end of one’s rope.”” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losing_My_Religion

That was just a dream”
9/Fifty-Two, Lights and Snow
Montreal’s Festival en Lumiere (would translate literally to Festival of Light) ends tonight. We went to the free outdoor site last night; what a festive and happy place to be! I have to say, my main purpose was to shoot the Ferris wheel, which I did. But there is much more to see and do. For free, you can ride “The Milk Urban Slide”, you can can zip along the site on “The RBC Zip-Line”, and there are many interactive activities to enjoy. You can also roast marshmallows or hot-dogs on the many open fire pits throughout the site. Honestly, if you are in the Montreal region and haven’t had a chance to go, make a point of getting there and do it tonight or you will have to wait for next year.
