Postcards From The End
Reading in the Shadows
Posted by DAVE ID (Montreal, Canada) on 10 September 2007 in Miscellaneous.
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.
Just how pretty is that? A little angel reading a book. Click!

Nice composition. Unbelievable comment - You needed a permit!?

@Daroru: Yes. It appears that taking pictures offends the families of the defunct so the management of the cemetery hands out permits telling what you can and cannot photograph.
