FREE THE GNOMES


Here are a couple of happy gnomes a couple blocks away from me, tending to their lawns and minding their own business - whoa... these guys are chained to the trees. Montrealers are generally a decent lot, but I've managed to capture the city's cruel side, a part of the unseen, nasty underbelly that is usually relegated to the downtown core... (photo is clickable)

I pass this yard on every trip to the post office and it cracks me up every Spring when the shackled gnomes are back out. This elderly gentleman takes excellent care of his lawn as you can see by the weedless grass, and he also definitely loves his gnomes. Gnome thieves will have to uproot the trees if they are desperate enough to make off with these fellas.

Hope you're all having a good week-end ☺
