La lune hier 🌝

[immunobiz]

La mairesse Plante nous montre encore se qu'elle veut faire avec les Montréalais. On commence par cela pour que les gens abandonnent leur auto pour se promener à pied et en bicyclette. Ensuite elle va augmenter les taxes municipales pour que les gens vendent leurs maison et reste dans les petites villes de 15 minutes et le tout va vous conduire vers VOUS NE POSSÉDEREZ RIEN ET VOUS ALLEZ ÊTRE HEUREUX! 🤮

Mayor Plante is once again showing us what she wants to do with Montrealers. First, she's going to get people out of their cars and onto their bikes and feet. Then she'll raise municipal taxes so that people will sell their homes and stay in small towns 15 minutes away, and the whole thing will lead to YOU'LL OWN NOTHING AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY! 🤮

The light and the clouds

MTL - km627 - 2023 La grande ville restera toujours une source de questionnement pour moi. C’est une sorte de beauté ambigu que je chercherai tout ma vie à comprendre. L’aménagement en emporte-pièce donne un territoire incongru difficile à naviguer. Parallèlement, le paysage est empreint de symbole qui démontre toute la complexité de l’humain dans sa façon de s’approprier un lieu. Y’a une partie de moi qui trouve ça beau! 🤷🏻‍♂️ #mtl #mtlmoments #montreal #cosmopolite #streetphotography #colors #saturation #50mm12 #bigcity #mtlphotographer #finartphotography #photoseries #montréal #creativeprocess #frenchcanadianphotographer (à Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbAI0aLB8u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
