A Canadian Protest

Lonely man protesting in front of the Palais de Justice in my neighborhood in Old Montreal.

Cool Montreal Restaurant...

Apparently in its hey day it was quite the experience eating here... Close to Quartier Chinois in Montreal...

Waiting for the Yellow School Bus

These kids here are waiting for their school bus... it is 7:24 in the morning... poor little kids....

Melting Snow on My Balcony Table...

the sight of melting snow is always welcome... Even though I tried to up my skating and took ski lessons and all, I must say, I am ready for this winter to be over. This was by far my hardest winter... It's probably partly because I am in a new city with not enough friends that I feel truly deeply connected with, but I think the biggest contributor is my work place - I work in what is affectionately(?) called a bunker...!!! The point is the whole building has no windows, so once you are in there it is pretty gloomy... I am from Sri Lanka and I need to see the sun oh people!!!!

Let's call her Betty...

My bicycle - Let's call her Betty...

I brought her all the way from Minnesota, and used it like twice in summer in Montreal and now she sits in my back balcony, in the snow like this...

Snow Flake Fractals

They say no two snow flakes are the same... like people... I wonder if snow flakes try to have relationships with other snow flakes... poor them if they do....

Amaryllis in bllom - just in time for Christmas and New Year

The first two Amaryllis bloomed in time for Christmas and the other two for Jan 01 2009 - it was indeed a pretty sight for an otherwise gloomy winter....
