PATRICK ALONSO PHOTOGRAPHE

Bikes …

A friend told me bikes are a recurring theme in my street photography. I hadn’t really noticed before but she seems to be right. Along with a few other things, I guess I associate Montrealers with bikes. Perhaps even more in December when, despite cold weather and snow, people just keep on biking.

Two that I captured over the last few weeks, on some of the coldest days of the approaching winter …

Another of my favs is this one I captured last year. As I look at these three images, I also realize they were all taken on a Sunday … I guess I like cold Sunday walks as well.

I don’t put away my shorts before minus 5

Last week (I don’t quite remember where), I read a caption for a picture that stated that a region was hit with 5cm of snow and temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius. I’m guessing the photographer lives in warm climates.

These two pictures are from this past Sunday. Montreal received around 10 centimeters of snow and it was a balmy -10 degrees Celcius. Normal weather for bike rides, jogging with the dog or a peaceful demonstration downtown.
