[the dude]

i know this section should be for hamilton photos only but hey, sue me.

having family in montreal affords me the opportunity to visit several times a year. i had hoped to do a larger tour of old port and westmount but it was waaaaaay too cold. it was seriously sous zero. anyway, here are a few photos.

let’s start with atwater market. it’s a trendy market near the canal that generally caters to a wealthier clientele.




some great infill/loft conversions around the market and along the canal towards old port.






an old cn building.


approaching old port.




‘habitat.’


old port. i always feel like such a tete-carre walking around and taking pictures. it’s such a touristy thing to do.






city hall, ca.1878.


N-D de bonsecours chapel, ca.[late]18th century, though foundations date from 1675.


la maison pierre du calvet, ca. 1725.



marche bonsecours. not really a market anymore but a centre for local artists and the like.



the famous hotel rasco.




the foundations of the walls that used to surround vieux montreal.


metro station nearest old port. off to westmount.




westmount city hall.


the surest signs that you’re in a trendy, affluent neighbourhood.







like i said, it was bitterly cold, so that’s all you get.
