Downtown Stratford

Trying to make Stratford look like Pia's pictures of Amsterdam.  All it takes is cropping out the four-lane highway that runs through the centre of downtown.

Stratford's Skyline

This picture makes it look like we live in a huge congested city. Not true at all. Don't you love photographic tricks?

Danger Due to Teeny-Tiny Printing

I had to so close to read what the danger was that if anything had dropped, I'd've been a goner.

But these are the chances you take when you're a City Daily Photo blog...

Back Entrance

I half-expected a hobbit to come waddling out as I took this picture.  It's the back entrance to someone's house.  Charming.

The Pig Truck

Stratford has both urban and rural elements. Most of the time, they blend well, but sometimes they clash.

Like when you're sitting in a sidewalk cafe, enjoying an afternoon latte and a pig truck rolls by, on the way to slaughter.

I'm seriously worried that one of these days I'll give in to the urge to stage a rescue...

Inside the Stratford Public Library

It's a beautiful old building, close to downtown. We need something bigger, but I hope they never retire it completely.

If you're in Stratford this weekend, the Friends of the Library Annual Book Sale is tomorrow from 9:00 - 3:00 at the Rotary Complex, Hall A. Oh the temptation!

Life's Uncertain - Drink Your Lattes Outdoors While You Can

Yesterday, the railings were down and all the chairs had been brought inside. Another lesson in taking opportunities as they present themselves.
