1 Sunday, 1 Street, 6 Blocks

9 July 2023 – This very Sunday, walking north on Quebec Street from East 6th Avenue on past East 1st to False Creek.

New construction at East 6th…

Old hollyhocks at East 4th…

Life philosophy in the alley just before East 3rd…

the line-up for Earnest (“Seriously Good”) Ice Cream at East 2nd…

and a hovering hand at the Local Blueberries tent down at False Creek.

The stand offers a range of produce; the customer’s hand pauses over the red currants until the farm girl comments”They’re pretty tart.” Her hand then jumps smartly up and away, and selects cherries instead.

  • WALKING… & SEEING

    "Traveller, there is no path. Paths are made by walking" -- Antonio Machado (1875-1939)

    "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes" -- Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

    "A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities" -- Rebecca Solnit, "Wanderlust: A History of Walking"
