Montreal Part III: To A Basement On A Hill

 Day one meandering, heading towards a giant hill, soaking up the sun, and nursing a head full of great memories.

Montreal Part II: The Underground

Last train is nearly due...

I guess that this series will be in no particular order, because I spent the day underground on the second (rainy) day in Montreal. I just felt like doing it this way.

The underground is closing soon..

The last time I was in Montreal, and it was a rainy day, I had decided to leave my camera behind due to weather. Foolish foolishness, that was.

I also "accidentally" found the whole underground,  complete with walking through a door and almost falling onto a subway. (Not really near falling, just SUDDENLY; SUBWAY!)

It wasn't really that busy, so I got a lot of un-peopled pictures.

Sometimes, though, you want peopled pictures. Makes me feel like a champ, or a spy, or a creep.

Even though the camera is firmly attached around my neck, I still get flashes of it being ushered to the ground with a stomach twisting end result. Gravity: It hates us ALL equally.

:3

 This guy was alright. I paid him a buck to take his picture. Probably could have gotten away with just a quarter, but I wanted to motivate him to convey the feeling like he was really homeless.

Sideways means down!

I pay this guy many moneys to remain not homeless.

Montreal Part I: Through A Glass Dimly

The ride up to Montreal was "Uneventful", if not a little weather worn. To quote Crowded hose, we basically did four seasons in one day, hitting a number of beautiful squalls of sun and snow throughout. I was in the back seat for once, and got to savour the sights through my back window, which promptly became glazed with some sort of fine mist and whitish sediment. It gave me a nice soft Effect without even needing to press any buttons or put a filter on! Sweet!

Wherever this is, here you are.

An interesting side note of sorts is that you have to be quick on the draw. There is no hand holding or coddling while you take meters and measurements and test shots. Unless you want to anoy your carmates with stopping every ten meters, you have to shoot on the fly.

There was a variety of views and weather conditions, but the majority was snow once we made it 10 degrees norther than we were.

Snow is pretty, and nice, and I love it a whole lot, but this snow was more like a niece or nephew. You have a lot of fun, but at the end of the day, you sent them home to the parents for the night.
