Montreal, Quebec, Canada

This photo was taken last month at what I consider the southern edge of downtown Montreal. The major artery you see here is boulevard Robert-Bourassa, previously known as rue University. The street is still called University in the portion near the campus of McGill University.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A sunset-tinged sky is reflected in the windows of office towers in downtown Montreal, seen last month from the edge of Mount Royal Park near the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Monument.

Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A view of downtown Montreal from my old stomping grounds, Concordia University — except the place where I snapped this shot, the EV building (Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex), didn’t exist when I studied there.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The slate-coloured Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal complex dominates the skyline at the east end of downtown Montreal, as seen from the pedestrian overpass above Avenue Viger linking Place d’Armes métro station with Chinatown. Also depicted in this scene captured a few days ago, in the far background, are a portion of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and the soon-to-be-retired Molson Brewery.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

If you’re in even the slightest bit of denial over the snowfall that’s blanketed the Calgary area over the last couple of days, this snowless autumnal scene from a few weeks ago might cheer you up. Keep it on your screen for a little while and enjoy the fall colours under a moody sky.

This is a great place for a park bench, if you ask me! This view of downtown Calgary is from Houndsfield Heights/Briar Hill.

Sidewalk city

This is an awesome chalk conception of Calgary, spotted in Hillhurst a couple of weekends ago.
