Something happening.

Posting photos with commentary – like I do on this blog – is new to me.  I used to just post photos, free of my interpretation, because I believed the images should stand on their own merit.  Interpretation would be left to the viewer.

I still believe that, but I’ve obviously softened my stance – hence this blog.

However, I’m posting this image, which I will leave hanging, unadorned by words (other than the title, “Something happening”).

I took it yesterday.  Today I’ll leave the details up to you.

I’m curious as to what you dream up.

“Love is better than anger…”

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

- Jack Layton (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011).

Chalk messages adorn the walls and pavement of Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto City Hall – an impromptu memorial in honour of Jack Layton.

RIP, dear Jack.
