Horse to Horse

Across from the Théâtre-St-James is this sculpture by Botero, The Volumptuous Man. I saw a caleche approaching and waited for an opportune moment to catch the horses communicating. Art meets real life.

High Tech Low Tech

In a walk around Vieux-Montréal I passed a line of caleches waiting for passengers. This low tech transportation's driver is consulting a cell phone. I wonder if she is using GPS to get around the city...

On another note, the Horse Palace, the stables where these horses were housed was sold. The owners were in their 80s and could no longer afford to keep up the stables. Another condo project? Or will the stables be saved by the city. You can read more on The Gazette site.
