  1. It’s a good photo—and your distinctive shadow was recognizable even before I saw the full impact.

    Was the photographer someone you knew?

  2. You sure do take it all in when you travel, Frank. Wonderful photos!! I love Montreal, though our most recent visit was during a dreadful heat wave—and I became ill and couldn’t do much.

    Picture of you in front of The Handmaid’s Tale was creative.

    Thanks for this super city tour!

    1. Thanks for all that, Annie. I do try my best to immerse myself wherever it may be.

      Boo on global and local warming ruining your visit.

      Special thanks for noticing my attempt to pay due respect for the Handmaid’s Tale.

    1. Thanks so much for diggin’ my photo essays, Tracy. I hope they come across as educational, not as “Look at me!!!” facebook pix. All the best.

      1. Rest assured, Frank, your photo essays come across as educational and artistic, offering a glimpse of other places plus insights into how you (literally and artistically) see the world. Love them!
