8 December 2013: 9AM Sunday at the Glenwood Bar

Today is the last Glenwood Sunday Market of 2013, so head on over to the Glenwood Bar, where the market has moved for the winter months. Although the abundance of summer is behind us, there are still lots of good things to be had at the market and the farmers still need our support. 

6 December 2013: Feliz Navidad

He was playing "Feliz Navidad." The children heard him,
and ran to him as though he were the Pied Piper.
They stood in front of him, dancing and singing along,
filling the cold, stark subway station with warmth and joy.

4 December 2013: Tortillas for Breakfast

1 December 2013: The Bunker

This doorway on the upper level of the substation
under construction at Farwell and Glenwood
would make a good setting for a scene in a suspense
or horror film. I keep waiting for someone or
something scary to emerge from inside this
stark concrete structure.
