Here’s a trippy piece of indoor wall art from the World Trade Centre complex in Old Montreal, snapped back in December.

Remorquer la ville

Spotted this piece of wall art in downtown Montreal on my trip there late last year.

Pointillé

Cool little lights under the marquee of the Imperial Theatre in Montreal. Snapped this when I was visiting late last year.

Barbelé

This abandoned industrial complex sits at rue St. Ambroise and rue St. Rémi in Montreal’s St. Henri neighbourhood.

Miniature

Two of the many Christmas trees I’ve spotted this season, both of these from my recent trip to Montreal.
The one above is barely 10 centimetres tall … the one below is more like 10 metres!

A festive mood hangs over Boul. Saint-Laurent in Montreal in this image from about two weeks ago.

Histoire, en bref

This is one portion of a mural on Mount Royal Ave. E. in Montreal, which briefly recounts the history of Quebec. Snapped this photo late last month.

Je l'ai trouvé!

All over Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal, from the more-than-life-size wall art on Boul. Saint-Laurent, above, to the little stickers seen on buildings on and around Ave. du Mont-Royal, below, are four-eyed figures with short messages for passersby.

Vas-y

Coloré

The Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art and its skyscraper neighbour, Complexe Desjardins, are looking appropriately festive these days.
