Yesterday's News
This wound up being a stroke of luck. While thinking about taking the next picture, the X and T one, I glanced in to this pizza place beside us. I saw the newspaper's there, and knew that one item was 'yesterday's news', and this wound up being the newspaper from the day previous. Perfect! |

A Word with the letter's "X" and "T" in it
| This one was an obvious EXIT search, so we thought to try other sources.... like Texas? (as in Lone Star Texas Grill)....but James's knowledge of bikes was useful. We stumbled on this one while I was checking out 'yesterdays news' inside a pizza place just a short jaunt from our start point. |
A Canadian Web address on a Vehicle
| This did not specify it had to be painted on a vehicle. We used the Cityhunter's card we had with us, complete with web address, and put it on a vehicle. Voila! |
Something found in a Woman's Purse
Of course there are many things that can be found in a woman's purse. But if anyone know's me even a little bit, they know that my camera is always with me, most often in my purse so it's handy. My brother has the exact same camera, and yes, this is the 'point and click' I take all my pictures with. |

A Maple leaf, not on a Flag or Sign
Something like that... I don't remember the exact wording for it. This is on a T-shirt of a lovely waitress in the Lone Star Texas Grill in the Byward Market.
Perfect!!
Something normally found in a student backpack
My brother James, is a student. So finding this item wasn't hard at all.
Accessibility
I believe most teams went for wheelchair accessibility; but the wording wasn't that specific. We saw this and grabbed it.
Canadian Diversity
James climbed up on a trash can at an intersection to get a 'taller' perspective for this shot.

Makes Noise, but has no moving parts
We used a 'pea-less' whistle. Uses only forced air to make noise.
A Tattoo
I have one myself too, but we decided to see what else we could find, using mine last minute if we didn't actually capture one on the way. This one is from a guy sitting outside of the tattoo parlour wherein we took the next 2 photo's as well (with permission of course)
Chinese symbol for PEACE
We stopped outside of a tattoo parlour, taking the prevous picture (above). A few of our other sought after items were chinese symbols, and I was pretty sure they'd have them inside. We were introduced to the owner of the store, and explained what we were doing, and asked if we would be allowed permission to photograph just those few items we needed. She agreed and even helped direct us to the pages containing the proper images. We then just had to find them ourselves.
Thanks very much!! We do appreciate your help.
Always pays to ask first, as some other teams (we heard later) got in trouble for taking pictures inside the tattoo place they chose to go to. Tsk tsk tsk.... ask first!
A Coffee cup
Tragic that garbage gets left behind. Possible it blew out of the can it had been put in, but who knows...
We deposited it where trash belongs after we took its photo.
An earring in an Ear
.... and no, this is not on a human. This is from a Buddha statue we found in the Market.
A Picture of an Insect
Following the 'letter of the law' in the listing, we took a picture of an insect, and then took a picture of that picture. Helps to have 2 camera's!

Something made from red cloth.
With all the red T-shirts we had around us that day, we decided to grab this shot instead. Didn't want to duplicate anyone else's shot.
A Boat
A bit of a stretch, but hey.... points for inventive and original thought.
This is a gravy 'boat'.
