Tous les chemins mènent à Rome

The Roman roads were essential for the growth of their empire, by enabling them to move armies. A proverb says that all roads lead to Rome . Roman roads were designed that way to hinder provinces organising resistance against the Empire. At its peak, the Roman road system spanned 53,000 miles (85,300 km) and contained about 372 links.

These long highways were very important in maintaining both the stability and expansion of the empire. The legions made good time on them, and some are still used millennia later. In late Antiquity these roads played an important part in Roman military reverses by offering avenues of invasion to the barbarians.

Dure dure d’être un piéton

In too many cities in Canada, we are so easily convinced to drive when a lot of us could walk or bike to work, but it’s not always easy, as this photo taken this morning on Main Street shows it.

Ca va être un hiver froid

This one is well prepared for Winter, or is still waiting for Holloween. Although it could also be an art installation. If someone finds out, let me know.

Boom

C’est lundi, j’ai oublié ma caméra chez-moi. Je n’ai pas pris de photos de la fin de semaine alors voici une photo prise il y a quelques semaines déjà. C’est peut-être le même pigeon qu’ici?

Recycle Garbage

Ce matin je suis inspiré par un documentaire que j’ai découvert hier soir "The end of Suburbia". Je vous le conseil fortement.

True love in Moncton

Another evidence of global warming - even the pigeons are fooled in thinking it’s spring again.
