No Fishing - It does not mean you can't catch anything. I took this shot a few week ago but I just got to it. This is a view from Sarnia, ON from across the St-Clair river bay. I was standing on the water at the Sarnia marina. Ice helps to walk on water indeed! Cheers, JY

Once in a while, we are allowed to feel good. A local store, Petrolia Mercantile, is selling my first ever print. It is display in the front window; I would not have expected this much. The store is amazing and sell unique and high end merchandise. Now, I am getting nervous ... Cheers JY

A sign or a feel of security depends of our perception. I think we are not free anymore, being prisoner of our fears. It dictates what we should or should not do.

I have been out of town for a couple of days. I took this shot around the corner of my street last week. Tune in as I got a few cool shots; sometimes work brings to some pretty places. Cheers - JY

Sometimes source of great divide, the fence is the ultimate symbol of territorial ownership. What would happen in the world if fences of all kinds would be removed, forbidden to come back. We probably would have to speak to the neighbor! Have a great day - JY

I was fixated on an old window, however the camera focused on the light inside, good idea! This is a time where technology helped to see out of the box I guess. Have a great day - JY

Another walk around town ending by a "random" shot as my daughter would say. She found this one "cool". Is it what creativity is all about; remove the barriers and shoot whatever. Sometimes it just feel good. Have a great day --JY

Fries under the bridge. This is a tradition at home. People go to the bridge, park, eat fries and watch the boats. By the way, the fries are delicious. Anyhow, this is what I fried to represent ... ooops "tried to" :-) -JY
