In the window at Grace Ottawa, 211 Bank. Grace Ottawa is an ethnic food store that also sells wigs.


When I googled Grace to find out their address I came upon this Ottawa foodie blog:
foodiePrints

They have a highly informative post about pho. I recommend it for all pho lovers. (In case you don’t know, pho is Vietnamese soup. It’s really good.)
State of Pho in Ottawa
(What are you waiting for? Go eat some.)


I’m very sorry that I’ve had to add Recaptcha to the comments area. It’s because I’m getting masses of comment spam and I can’t stand deleting it every day. I hope my commenters won’t find it too annoying in itself.

Recaptcha is a form of Captcha, a system for distinguishing human beings from spam-bots. Humans can read the distorted words but robots can’t.

Recaptcha uses distorted words from actual scanned texts. That way every time you solve one, you are helping in the project to digitize all the world’s books and newspapers. More about Recaptcha here.

I’m going to try it for awhile and see if it works. I hope I still get comments. Like I always say, comments are the tip jar of the blogosphere.

    How do you take window pictures without getting a reflection, Robin?

    I don’t know zoom, I don’t do anything special. Adding blacks and contrast in post-processing helps make it not look so washed-out. I don’t use a filter or anything.

    March 1: No comment spam today, so I guess recaptcha works.
