Having been a while since I had checked out the Sunday Tam Tams, I walked over to the George-Étienne Cartier Monument on Mount Royal to get some shots of the weekly gathering. Being a nice day, there was a good crowd gathered around the numerous tam tam players enjoying the beats and people watching.

I’m not really sure how I captured this shot. It looks like a twisted the camera during exposure, except the guy in the center isn’t affected, but I liked the result…now if I can just work out what I did to get the effect :-/

There’s always a lot of folks selling all sorts of items around the George-Étienne Cartier monument during the tam tam gatherings…
