At Victoria Metro Station, Montreal

This is a seat at the Victoria Metro Station in Montreal. I took the photo in 2013. It was very early in the morning in the first week of July when I went there for the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal. (So looking forward to the festival this summer!)

Check out the the white and turquoise tiles on the left side. So subtly creating visual variety to break the monotone of the black and grey tiles. I would say, it could have gone a bit bolder and still maintain the subtle-ness.

There was nothing around to capture in the photo to give a sense of the scale visually. But just so you know, the seat it about 40cm-high.

The elegance in its minimalism caught me eyes.

Roof Truss, Innisfil

This is a roof - truss system in the Innisfill, Ontario town hall. The wood and metal look nice with the pendant light.

The 504 Streetcar, Toronto

This is the 504 streetcar. It runs between the Dundas West and Broadway Subway Stations along Roncesvalles Avenue and King Street. The Toronto streetcar is the slowest means of transportation I have ever used. The 504 is the slowest of all. To give you a sense of how slow if you have never been on it: I am a cyclist; I cycle with average speed; I am faster than the 504. Get it?

It looks pretty, though. It has a nice proportion, slim and long. Comfortable, too, to sit inside and glide along with it if you are sight-seeing and time is not an an issue, provided the car is not crowded.
