In Montreal's Old Port, Silo #5 stands tall, A sentinel of days gone by, majestic and austere, Its industrial bones bear witness to a time, When commerce and trade were the city's lifeline.

Unusual Urbanities – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
The city breathes and pulsates, A living, shifting entity, Unpredictable and constantly changing, Like a chameleon shedding its skin.

But time marches on, and the city … Continue reading Unusual Urbanities – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
So Far Unused – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
A cement planter stands still, Stained by long ago use, By seasons of sun and ice, A witness to the changing times.
