Wildthing said at 4:21 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Magical set. I love these celebratory days of yore. Makes me think a little of a couple of days i spent in Colonial Williamsburg.
A little worried about that garlic-laden cross. Are there vampires in them there hills? :)
Shenresi said at 4:49 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Fantastique, cette marché, Annelies!!! Man hat wirklich das Gefühl im Mittelalter zu sein!!!
Ira said at 4:50 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Lovely and remarkable travel in time. The past has come. Cosy and slow. Perfect photos
Andre. said at 5:32 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Sorta fun stuff. Lovely bottles too...

Jan.H said at 7:46 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Mooie plaatjes uit het Inuit en Franse coloniale verleden in Canada's Quebec. Goed weergegeven Annelies.
Leftofcenter said at 8:29 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Bedankt, Jan. Op de foto's, zijn het "Indianen", en die wonen hier nog. Thanks everyone :) it was COLD, Fabio! feels like fall already. yes, the cheese (with REAL bread that we bought at another stand) was delicious- but the apple pie was totally 100% yummee!! Fox, that "garlic cross" surprised me too, I didn't ask, but Québec has a long-standing love&hate relationship with the Catholic church. Andre, the bottles are apple cider... Bobbie, the kids in costume we're so cute indeed , and for once, I got some smiles for my shots. Marian, dat meisje stond voor mij, ik zag mezelf ook in haar, gek hè?... TWEELING!!!! :)))
William44 said at 8:36 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Lefty... one of the best tabblo's that I've seen in a long time. I love it.
Leftofcenter said at 8:59 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Thank you, Bill, it will be on today again (and it's sunny!) Old Montreal, by the port. Like I said, the apple pie and the fresh cheese are worth the trip from up north :)
Chilla said at 11:15 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: What a fascinating place to visit. The apple pie looks so good! Great shots!
Lifequest22 said at 11:27 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: You and your camera did a fantastic job of capturing the sights of this delightful market. The two smiling girls--wonderful portrait. And the 18th century Rock Band---very Kuel. And the cheese is to die for, I'm sure. Your images just make this market event look like a really fun place to stroll.
Nina1960 said at 11:38 a.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Ik heb weer gekeken en ik zou toch echt denken dat jij het bent....ja,tweeling:))..grappig..
EMA said at 12:28 p.m. on Aug 30, 2009: Wonderful and exquisite market. I love to see how our ancestors lived, eaten and dressed. It's fascinating. Here in Portugal, during Summer we have many markets like this in many different towns of the country.
Karsten said at 4:14 p.m. on Aug 30, 2009: What a great journey to the past!!! You just got it!! Great captures and what a nice combinacion of garlic and flowers..never seen that before! Live it! Thanks for the trip and PLEASE eat a pice of apple cake for me if you got a second chance!! ;-)

Leftofcenter said at 10:01 p.m. on Aug 31, 2009: about time, amiga! they were yummy, lamb sausages on the grill, no batter around them. I had 4. plus the cheese. plus the apple pie.
Lifequest22 said at 10:30 p.m. on Aug 31, 2009: sorry--My brain is running like 2 days late. Still haven't gotten my energy back.

Leftofcenter said at 7:11 p.m. on Sep 15, 2009: I work in Pointe-Claire and all my "lake" photos are taken there, it's still a very anglophone city. I live in Pierrefonds which is next door (and so is "DDO"). small world uh? :)
Pattymaryclare said at 7:36 p.m. on Sep 15, 2009: no kidding it is! yes now i remember the name Pierrefonds tres bien aussi! Andre Lemieux (her ex-hubby) et famille were very bi-lingual and you couldn't tell ANY aceent francais when speaking anglaise ...and I do also remember the Christmas tourtiere (yummy!) and THAT EVERYONE drives like kamikaze Autobahn-like fiends LOL ;-) ..good memories all! Should go back again one day as Old Montreal is DIVINE in fine dining, architecture, in every way. Cool cool froid froid?!? haha! out again
