i was in downtown this afternoon to find a replacement piece of my tableware set. as i was leaving the store, my phone gave out a loud embarrassing sound. i thought it was an alert from the office saying not to come to work tomorrow as we're shut down. to my relief it was a 5-minute-before-notification of the world wide minute. so my poor old body had to walk in the cold to find a suitable image. then i realized a few more steps and i'd be at the corner facing the entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum.
i find those yellow banners a bit garish and gaudy against the beautiful building. but what made me stop and take a photo as it was already 5:45 was the flag on top. you see, there's an optional theme of "wave your flag" for this year's world-wide minute. the only problem was the little wind had died down and that flag wasn't moving at all. then briefly it got tangled around the pole. i considered just taking a photo of an ugly sculpture behind me but i took a few photos of the museum when i noticed that the flag was waving! i just kept clicking then and 15 shots later, the time has passed. and you get to see what i thought was the best of the lot.
I like the Winnie Banners but you know me .... things just got worse here ...Governor is really cracking down and having everything close at 5pm today except grocery, gas, pharmacy's .... YIKES this is crazy.....
I like the tall building with the flag on top. Good one for your worldwide minute photo. Somehow I didn't get the notice to use a flag in the photo. Will have to remember this next year.
