Slider time at the dollar store

Slider time at the dollar store
I recommend the big version (type Z or click the pic). I may be wrong, of course, but you won't know till you try.

Cracked Canoe is a light lager brewed by Moosehead Brewery of Saint John, New Brunswick. Moosehad's website does not explain how you crack a canoe. The only reason I can see for adding the Toronto Maple Leaf stickers is that someone decided they weren't providing enough Canadian symbolism.

The "flow" of this, even without the Moosehead contents, is quite effective. It's like being in a futuristic grove of trees somehow. It's obvious that there are some compensations to living in suburbia - assuming this is at a pub, not a tourist stop glassware section.

Perhaps the stickers can be easily detached and individual ones used to stick on places like bus kiosks and restroom walls?

Ah - either you didn't have the title up or I blundered right past it. Obviously not glassware from the pub. Pity, that.

Thanks, Bob especially as I hadn't thought of the resemblance to a grove of trees. I also hadn't thought of the pub associations -- I gave up drinking 40 years ago today. The booze industry took a hit but has since recovered.

This is really cool John............it's almost like a multi-exposure as the glasses all seem to blend into each other. The light and reflections in the glass enhance this effect. I like the colour palette too.

Top notch..!!

Thank you very much, Keith. Principally this is the result of the wonders of tone mapping.

I'm guessing "cracked canoe" is the Canadian version of leaky boat. Alternatively, perhaps it means "crackpot." Either way, it's a "cracking" good shot, as our English friends would say.

Thank you very much, Sarah. Our Scottish friend Jean has said that above, too.

This is a really effective abstact, John, even if Moosehead may be a little crackers with their labelling.

Thanks, George. Your remark for some reason got me thinking that it resembles a cubist collage, too. A bit, anyway.

Stunning light refractions + Canadian cliches = photo treat!

Thank you, Denis. Since Canada became flavour-of-the-month pretty well anything Canadian has become a cliche. Perhaps I should be recording them -- thanks again for the inspiration.

Good old dollar store! These glasses look pretty fancy for a dollar. I like this great jumble of glass.

Thanks, Diane. These glasses are highly retro, too. Fifty years ago in many places the waiter wouldn't even ask what you wanted but just plop down two of these and take your forty cents.

Two beers for 40 Cents? Those were the days when teenagers could afford vices. In 1965, cigs were 25 C., gas was 50 C. per gallon and a gallon of cheap red wine was $1. That was a whole night of partying for 2-3 people!
