i had a bout of vertigo since last night but felt better after lunch. i can walk without any problem as long as i don't look down while moving and on the bus and train if i don't look out the windows i am fine.
so going to the doctor's i passed by the island airport to the "ireland park, toronto". it is a park dedicated to restoring to memory all the names of the irish famine migrants who perished upon arriving in toronto during the great famine.
i might have posted a similar shot a few years ago.
a woman asked me about this and the other statues in the park -- she thought they were rather scary. the wonderful thing was she didn't speak a word of english. not spanish either nor french nor german. but russian! however she had in her phone an app where you speak and it will give a written translation both in russian and in english. we both rather enjoyed the exchange using her phone. and when she asked to see my photos, she liked this shot so i showed her how to do it. i found out she was passing time as she was waiting for her son, who lives in one of those condos in the background and whom she is visiting, to come home from work. and that was my good deed for the day. (hmmmm....methinks i should write down these good deeds i do rather often, although i'm sure someone is keeping a tally up there.)
That is a very nice forced perspective. I have an app like that called Google Translate. It lets me send French messages and greetings to my friend from Quebec who is fluent in English but likes to get a greeting in French now and then.
sounds like a fabulous encounter and well done for being the kind and helpful one. I am sure there is a register somewhere upon which your name keeps appearing! I am impressed that you found a forced perspective shot without involving a real person - that is what I was thinking about and looking for today, but it didn't happen.
Love your story
