Wandering around my hometown. Not a truck in sight, so I started shooting buildings and houses. Nothing special, or architect-y; just the Montreal vernacular.
Boer War Memorial in Dorchester Square. Sun Life Building behind. In 1940, when England was threatened with invasion, most of the Bank of England's securities were transferred across the Atlantic and stored in vaults in the basement of the Sun Life. Gold bullion, too I think.
Nice to see the French edition of The O'Briens at Indigo on rue Ste-Catherine; which used to be Coles Bookstore, which my sister Anne used to manage.
And nice to see the Canadian edition of CARRY ME at my favorite Canadian bookseller, Librairie Paragraphe Books on McGill College Street. Autographed books there, if you want a Canadian First.
This guy was writing. I wasn't.
Only in Montreal. The Masonic Temple, across the street from a 17th century seminary belonging to the Sulpician priests, seigneurs of the island of Montreal,
Wood Avenue, in Lower Westmount.
Sisters of Notre Dame, now Dawson College.
Ordinary vernacular apartment building, Montreal brick, c. 1920. Sherbrooke Street.
Montreal semi-detached, Lower Westmount.
Row houses, Wood Avenue.
The Rubik's Cube House, Lower Westmount.
Westmount Art Nouveau.
Garage, ex-coach house.
Ye olde parish.
Great War cenotaph, Westmount.
