Westmount Park’s Lagoon
I have never ceased to be amazed by the lagoon’s coloured reflections following a thunder storm!
Westmount Park – “Dog Days of Summer”
Westmount Park during a very humid Sunday afternoon and just before a thunder storm. Much too hot for long walks – our dog “hates” the sound of thunder!
