Cote Des Neiges Cemetery Series: Taken on the last day before a special law forcing the caretakers back to work during a union dispute. The whole cemetery has been left without care, not to mention that hundreds of bodies are left in freezers unburied, leaving the city in a crisis. I was also escorted outside the cemetery for taking pictures without a permit.

As with everywhere else in Montreal, photography is a crime.

On an artistic level, the abandonment of the grounds leave us with visual treasures.

I thought this cross, though humble, with it's roses, had panache.

Very interesting... this left me with wondering about the person and their life!!! I am glad you got it before you were escorted out....

I love the feel of this image.... I agree with you about the cross, there's definitely something there! :)
