Indeed! And there were more down the way 😉
They close this little section off in the summer – fun for pedestrians, a curse for drivers…
Happy Wednesday to you!
It’s a lovely stretch of road they close off in the summer. Lots of restaurants and activities. I was there for supper with old friends last night 🙂
Happy Wednesday – wordless or otherwise, to you!
Love all the colors. The chairs remind me of Rainbow Sherbet and the top photo, the town of East Hampton. Very cozy it all is. Makes you want to don a pair of flip flops and take a nice stroll through the center of things. 🙂
So glad you do.
I was there last night to have dinner with some old friends. I got there early, hoping I’d find something to snap! It had rained a bit before I arrived and luckily stopped long enough for me to capture these (and a few more). This section of the street is closed off from cars in the summer which is quite fun.
How lovely!
There is a nice section in Montreal like that. They have so many things going on at all times in the summer. Right now, it’s the Jazz Fest so there are a bunch of free outdoor concerts as well as those in certain theatres. Sigh. This working thing is such a hindrance.
Thank you, John. Normally, it is pretty bustling but it had just stopped raining when I took these. They close this part of the street in the summer for all sorts of activities.
The pedestrians think so more than the car drivers 😉 Mind you, the detour is nothing, if you ask me!
There’s a great section of St.Catherine Street in Montreal that is closed off in summer, too. Plus a couple here and there. I love it.
Seriously, the first shot is art. Street shots are simply that. Assembled by different artists at different times with different tastes, budgets, concerns and yet . . the finished piece always make it look as if the entire block was put together at the same time.
The second shot is why I do believe that if can’t get to the beach, you can always bring the beach to you. For some people it’s flip flops, for others it’s beach chairs and yet others- such as yours truly- it’s a beverage of choice.
I do, too (and is why I put it in the featured spot 😉 )
The second shot is representative of that whole little section of carless street for the estival season. I love that they do that. A chair like that just beckons one to bring along a frosty beverage and a friend with whom you can shoot the shit, don’t you think?
Love the small town feel of these shots, Thunder.
Where is this?
The shopping area looks like where I live and shop. It’s one of the last village type shopping areas in Toronto, if not the last. We do have a lot of farmers’ markets. However, there’s nothing like shopping in a village setting.
Thank you! xxoo
It’s in Vieux Longueuil – the next town over. I think a farmer’s market would make it perfect. Alas, there is none. But there are scads of restaurants…
Thank YOU xoxo
Be Sorry . . . Less 
Everybody needs 5 chairs in the road. 😉 Happy Wednesday!

Dear Rochelle,
Pretty much every Wednesday now 😉 And I know, right? I looked down the street at the other sections of chairs and nope. Not a purple one to be found.
Shalom and lotsa colourful love,
Dale
