Up Above the Streets and Houses

I don’t think I’ve made any great secret on this blog about my affection for Montreal. I also love a good view, and Montreal is full of vantage points to take in a panoramic eyefull.

Spending a year living in the City’s West End, my apartment afforded a pretty nice perspective on the Downtown core and the Western slope of the mountain.

And if I dared to venture up onto the roof, the full 360° was available amongst the satellite dishes and steam vents.

Mount Royal (aka: “the mountain”)

Gazing South-East, toward Mont Saint-Hilaire and Mont Saint-Bruno
