Very beautiful day here in Montreal :-) I had to walk so I took the camera. It smelled like summer and clean laundry, but the strong wind and falling leaves were there to remind me that fall will settle abruptly in the next days. The colours are starting to show
enfin; beautiful times ahead.
I didn't know if I should share some of these pics here or not, given that there are already a lot of (awesome) Montreal pictures being posted. But since they'll be outdated in a few days, here they are.
Ahuntsic
My itinerary started home, in the northern neighbourhood of Ahuntsic. One of these is my home but I won't tell you which it is

Youville
The often forgotten neighbourhood of Youville historically stood on both side of where the Metropolitain passes today. The southern part is usually considered as the northern part of Villeray. Though the Métropolitain is over 50 years old, you still feel the scar in the urban fabric (gaps in the plexes rows, gaz stations and other 1-storey commercial buildings from the 60s to the 80s).
André-Grasset College
Crossing to the other side...
Église Saint-Alphonse-d'Youville
Villeray
Then, we enter in Villeray, an old tramway-oriented blue-collar neighborhood. It's one of my favourite parts of the city. I used to live there too...
Typical Villeray streets and alleys...
Jarry Park
Rue De Castelnau
Église Notre-Dame-du-Saint-Rosaire
Alleys...
Le Plateau
Eventually, I ended up on the Plateau to join some friends... Beautiful evening...
