More of Montréal’s Ruelles Vertes #8
More interesting discoveries from Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood.
Note: These were all taken at the beginning of October. Most of the colourful leaves that you see in these shots have all fallen by now. Around here the pretty part of autumn is beautiful but oh so brief.
Let’s head up this way and see what we find.
Worn but functional.
Happiness? Hey, that’s what it says 😉
A waterfall of leafy beauty.
Even the hidden ones don’t escape me.
The colours sure got my attention.
There seems to be even more mystery behind this one than there is in front of it.
To me this one just says “Welcome.”
I see a red door….
A knight in rusted armour.
As always I thank you for looking 🙂

So many interesting and special discoveries, Norm. I love the beautiful Autumn colors, and especially the photo of the waterfall of colorful leaves and the bright yellow fence. Happy fall photos!!
Well, here’s mine for this week.

Oh, Norm, each week your post is like a warm colour hug. It’s just so pretty and welcoming and eye-resting. I love each of your photos and together they are magic.
I continue the tour of Farnese. This time there is a cat door and my future gallery doors with a great view (I wish!).

That first shot shows a really lovely place. What a pleasure it must be to walk there. Also to discover a door which seems to have been painted by Miro!

This is one of the three doors of the Village Inn pub in the village of Twyning near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England. I’m not sure if this particular door has appeared in Thursday Doors before, but the artists work certainly has and will do again in the very near future. I will be posting a whole bunch of them in the run up to Christmas because the landlord and landlady have traditionally had the doors painted with Christmas scenes every year and also for Remembrance Sunday (Armistice Day) and some of those will appear next week. Sadly the current landlord and lady will be leaving soon so it remains to be seen if their replacements continue the tradition. https://theartblogger54.wordpress.com/2020/10/29/street-art-by-brandons-murals-v6-the-village-inn-pizza-night/

Are you a Peter and Gordon fan? Gosh darn you, Norm, now I’ll have “Knight in Rusty Armor” stuck in my head! I love that first picture, with the Ruelle looking like a country lane. And I’m a big fan of cascades of vines. We used to have cascades of English Ivy in our front yard, but Charlie hated it for some reason. He and #2 Daughter (who studies landscape architecture) crowded it to death with a native groundcover. ~weeps~
