Christmas window reflections of an IGA grocery store in Saint-Lambert.

Reflets de vitrines de Noël à Saint-Lambert. Years past, the wreath was just as big but round with a big red bow. This store and other IGAs belong to a woman of whom we are very proud here.

See large on black Marché Louise Ménard - Épicerie IGA

We affectionately call my hometown commercial district "Le Village" and "The Village". Nous appellons affectueusement le centre commercial de ma ville "Le Village" ou "The Village".

Voir/See set: Noël Christmas

The map link on the bottom right is always wrong! It say Old Montréal which is across the river!!! I assure you that I placed the photos on the exact street location in Saint-Lambert.

Please take a look at the entire Noël/Christmas set to see many photos. I had difficulty taking the photos and getting good results for a few reasons. I did not want to show up in the reflections in the windows so I took all the photos from an less than ideal oblique perspective. Inevitably, I was also limited in the way I could frame the photos since there were people standing in front of stores. As well, I obviously could not easily step off the sidewalk for my shots because of the parked cars and the normal traffic. Unfortunately, I only realized too late that the shutter of the camera I was using did not open completely for the majority of the photos I took so I have large dark spots on two opposite corners of 90% of my photos which were already correctly framed. Cropping became necessary but yielded disappointing results.

I will make more attemps later on, preferably when there is fresly fallen snow. For the time being, since Christmas is so close, I decided to post everything anyway. Please take a quick look at the whole Noël/Christmas set to get an idea of just a few of the stores and boutiques in Saint-Lambert which are decorated for the Christmas season. I hope you can ignore the bad results and just like the view anyway. I also hope that you appreciate the reflections that are exactly what one sees when one tries to look inside during a cloudy day. Directly across the river from Montréal, this is a beautiful small town surrounded by other suburbs. It has constantly changed since I arrived here in April 1953 when I was six months old. It pleases me to show you my beloved hometown of Saint-Lambert. Enjoy!
