Sun where the sun normally don't shine

Champ-de-Mars métro station in Montreal was recently identified as one of most beautiful subway stations in the world. Surely, the wonderful panes of stained glass has something to do with it.

Il fait beau dans l'métro

Glowing tube

… until this Santiago Calatrava creation is accessible to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
I might not have liked how this bridge came to be and how much the public purse coughed up for it — and I’m unsure if I will ever understand accept how that all happened.
That said, the bridge is there, so we might as well enjoy it for what it is.
This picture was taken last month, not long after the temporary supporting bridge was removed and workers began putting together the finishing touches on the structure.
