More of a documentary photo than I normally do. This was the site of Montréal's 7th murder of the year (in the park across the street from my building). Someone has placed these flowers along with a few items (and no one has taken the beer!).

Events like this always make me sympathize with the victim and their friends and family, and realize that nothing is for sure, even in one of the safest places in the world. On the up-side, this is one of the safest places in the world: this is Canada's second-largest city, and it is halfway through the year, and we are still only up to 7. I'd definitely prefer 0, but it could be a lot worse. I wish we would remember just how fortunate we are more often.
