Back before they built the canals if you were going up the St Lawrence river to get to the great lakes this is where your trip got tough,
the Lachine Rapids

Really nice photo's Hasme.. thanks.
That second to last one looks like it was taken from atop the Olympic Tower, i've never seen Montreal from that perspective

Nice Hazme. I've taken literally 1,000's of photos of Montréal over the last 2-3 years. Such a photogenic place!

Some recent shots from Quartier des Spectacles (I don't often use a tripod so forgive the quality)

This interactive display was heaps of fun! There were 16 searchlights set up and the public could 'play' with them using big white levers.












You could make this guy 'bug out' but I could never figure out how!

This was a free Arcade Fire concert (with Kid Koala and Karkwa) put on by Pop Montréal festival. There were over 100,000 people! We arrived late and were in the back 10,000 or so..











They released 100's of these balls into the crowd and a few lucky people took them home. They changed colour from blue to red.


Good Montréal beer was available..




Free filtered water..


as well as any kind of vodka product.. as long as it was Smirnoff!


A short video. My memory card ran out..

Great pics habfan, really caught the joie d'vivre

[Habfanman]

Thanks jambo, I have heaps upon heaps!

This is the new foyer at Place des Arts which turned out even better than I had anticipated. It's part of RÉSO and leads to all the theatres at PdA, the new Symphony as well métro Place des Arts.





This sculpture garden used to be open to the elements. Now it's part of the restaurant.




The walls have constantly changing video presentations and the floor has pinhole lights that shine upwards.














The spectacular entrance to Salle Wilfred-Pelletier


and to 5e Salle
