Icicles everywhere! After last nights “Blizzard of flurries” I woke up to the sun shining and causing the snow from the night before to form icicles everywhere, but most notably on the bottom of the iconic Montreal staircases and under cars. The sun was out, but it was still bloody freezing.
Brae somehow swindled another day off so we ended up stumbling around a few neighbourhoods most of the day without a real plan except to get some Poutine at the infamous a la banquise, which turned out not to be as good as advertised and left us feeling pretty disgusting.
We took a walk around a nearby park with a still frozen pond and a squirrel whisperer to try and feel not so much like poutine guzzling slobs, then went downtown to check out some light and projection installations for the wall-to-wall festival which I plan to photograph some more next week.
One thing I had been trying to find in Montreal were some swings that were set up at a bus stop, and tonight we just happened to find them! They weren’t just ordinary swings though as they lit up from underneath when being used and also produced music, which would play a song when the swings were swinging in sync! It was really cool and made me wonder why Melbourne couldn’t have nice things like this and then I remembered it’s because we would just vandalise it and steal the lights to buy goon.
