I stood in one spot on the Place d'Armes and turned 360 degrees to shoot (not well) a set of buildings in wildly different styles of architecture, ranging over three centuries. We must return to Montreal when the weather is a bit more clement to do an effective set of posts on the city's morphology, neighborhood by neighborhood. (That's a ten-dollar word for "size, shape, structure.") And there are certainly some cool trucks and cars in La belle province, but they are all tucked away and hibernating now.

Place d'Armes, Montreal. 0 degrees Fahrenheit
I stood in one spot on the Place d'Armes and turned 360 degrees to shoot (not well) a set of buildings in wildly different styles of architecture, ranging over three centuries. We must return to Montreal when the weather is a bit more clement to do an effective set of posts on the city's morphology, neighborhood by neighborhood.
