Rue Saint-Charles

If I think Main Street, Quebec, this is the stereotypical streetscape that pops into my mind — a bank, a couple of cafés and restaurants, a liquor store … and, of course, a church. This is Rue Saint-Charles in the Old Longueuil neighbourhood near Montreal. Snapped on a wander back in February.

Larme

This large mural in comic book style brightens up a parking lot along Boul. Saint-Laurent in Montreal. (Certainly helped during the winter, when I snapped this photo on my last visit to the city.)

Vert, bleu, magenta

From the beginning of the year: some of the coloured glass on the west side of the Montreal convention centre.

Allure moderne

Some of the new (new to me, anyway) construction completed in Montreal’s “Quartier des spectacles” entertainment district, as seen back at the beginning of this year.
