Abandoned Homestead & Spring Garden

- GGP - Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

Down the road is an unused road lined on either side with towering old horse-chestnut trees. The road leads to what little is left of someone's home--mostly old stone foundation, garbage and appliances that will never biodegrade. My elderly neighbor tells me that the "bachelor" who lived there was a naturalist.

It's kind of a mournful little spot, but in springtime there's a treat to be found: a little echo of the human happiness that might once have resided there.

Nice. Reminds me of the countless times I have come across some abandoned site and wondered who had been there, what did they do, and why?

Anglos Go Home


It's not often that you see politically charged graffiti concerning language in Montreal these days but once and awhile something will pop up. I recently snapped this picture of a somewhat buffed "Anglos go home" piece in the Bonaventure...
