Lafontaine Park, Montreal, Canada, 2009

This park featured two linked ponds with fountains and waterfalls. I visited it on a warm Monday afternoon, and found it crowded with sun worshippers. I was drawn to this subject because of the sleeping man in the red pants and the reflection of those pants in the pond below him. The shimmering reflection becomes his dream.

When one is unconscious, he does not think of comfort or discomfort. He simply dreams shimmering dreams. Thanks, Tim, for this observation.

He looks so relaxed - yet a rock normally doesn't make for the most comfortable of beds.

Thanks, Rose and Christine, for commenting on this image. If the slab of rock is an altar, it serves here as a shrine to Morpheus.

Parc Lafontaine is a well known place in Montreal, almost part of a tradition.

Great color, and it's as if the slab of rock is an altar that he rests on.
