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

I’ve had a taste of all kinds of weather during my visit to Montreal. Recently, bouts of rain have started to erase much of the snow that’s fallen in the last couple of weeks. This photo was snapped almost two weeks ago — and today, there is no more snow clinging to trees.

There is definitely nothing bland about Montreal’s cityscape. This is a view snapped a few days ago of some buildings near Bleury and President-Kennedy streets.
