Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I can’t remember the context of this photo, which I snapped about six years ago, but I imagine it must have had something to do with the science centre at the Old Port of Montreal. No other explanation seems plausible.

Amsterdam’s Museumplein park is, as you might imagine, ringed with museums. Beyond the pool in this photo is the Rijksmuseum. Snapped this image on a long layover back in August 2014.
