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.

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.

Sometimes, things just line up as they should. Spotted at the Calgary airport the other day: A Bombardier Q400 in the foreground in legacy Air Canada livery, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner behind it in new Air Canada paint, and the skyline of downtown Calgary between their tail fins.
