Au Canada!

John and I made a great little trip north to Montreal last weekend - what a fun city! Here are some photos:

On the way into the city, on a seriously foggy morning.

An art installation of giant air-freshener trees.

Image
 Notre Dame: c'est obligatoire.

Image
 Giant chess boards.

Image
 Funky murals, cool architecture.

Image
 Juste pour rire/just for laughs

Image
 Elaborate graffiti

Image
 Likewise, more elaborate graffiti

Image
 John, going with the flow

Image
 The ugly Croix de Montreal. Ugly! Ugh.

Image
 Us chillin' in the Parc de Mont Royal

Image
 Leaning birches on the way down from Mont Royal

Image
 More crazy graffiti

Image
 Under Pressure! more graffiti.

Image
 Oh la la! Indeed.

Image
 More graffiti/murals... I think I spy Alfred Hitchcock in there.

Image
A perfect example of Montreal's architectural schizophrenia...

Image
Et voila, des fleurs. C'etait un bon voyage! Merci et bonne nuit!
