WalkAbout toad! (Day one)

SunRise Merritt BC Canada

Above image SunRise, Merritt BC Canada…

i’ve been wanting to leave the city, for some years, only i felt, very trapped by the governmental machine..  Well with that being said an done, yesterday, i got on a Greyhound bus, an left the city, bit of a destination in mind, however not really!  Damn did i just say that?  Once again in carrying on, i left with the cloths on my back, two computers in my pack and a sleeping-bag very little money an a whole lot of dreams…

 

i stopped in Merritt British Columbia Canada, i had hope in seeing my youngest uncle and no he doesn’t know that i coming!

 

It was late at night, when the bus pulled into town, nothing much open when i got out, however i spotted a Boston Pizza, just down the road..  Off i went, feeling a little nervous,

upon stepping in the door, after clean myself up, an all that other shit..  i order myself a rum an coke, just as i was sitting at the table, a table of three beautiful young darling princess, offered me part of their meal, over i went setting myself down, for a little conversation, an to thank them for their love…

 

Welcome to your WalkAbout!

Passenger Graffiti;

Now a toad is unsure if he had already made a post about this graffiti, nonetheless, we shall make another or not!

 

There some place to place graffiti with taste, now i know this is not tasteful, however i the toad, love the fact that those graffiti artist defied would be challenged to place their art on this passenger car…

 

They singled out the car, i would believe to be cleaned of said art, a shame..  The art made a boring looking train into something creatively beautiful..

 

i do say, well done…

 

It will be sad to see it go…

This is the reason the public doesn’t want us in their alleys…

 

I have lived on the streets and binning for some time now, all over the city of Vancouver British Columbia Canada.  There are times when I was as bad, making a mess and destroying things for the metal, leaving the alley in the way that I am about to showing you through these photos.  After my father Passed away, I had made my way back to the streets with a different attitude.  By not creating the destruction or leaving a garbage trail in my wake, by treating the other binners with more respect.

West Coast Trail

 

Yes the West Coast Trail, I had traveled the trail when I was about twelve years old. My father had charged me with Unmanageability, I was sent to Brandon Lake Youth Detention where I spent thirty months, however while in detention I was afforded the opportunity to hike the West Coast Trail. The trail left me with lasting memories. I see by the photos they have made many improvements to the trail, I don’t remember the trail being such a nature walk. I would like say to all those who live in British Columbia they should try and hike the trail you will see beauty beyond belief…

The Greatist City On Earth…

 

Now to popular thought do all Canadians dress like these two women?  I would have to say that these women are dressed very tame when it comes to style of cloth that one does wear here in Vancouver British Columbia Canada.  You really need to come and take a vacation in are beautiful city to appreciate the depth of are culture and are  city is growing at an alarming rate.

A couple of average Canadian women…

 

Building Art…

At Broadway & Nanaimo street in Vancouver BC Canada I took down these photos, which are on a building beside the bank on the corner.  I came across them on my travels down to Renfrew Street.  I make this trip four times a month.  I have enjoyed the fact that someone took the time with love and care to paint these pictures on the side of a building.
