A friend posted this on FB with the note "a la prochaine!" I don't know if she took it or not, but she was there:

She was clearly lodging at the Hilton, if she took that pic herself.

Hopefully more buildings like this start to populate the area, which at the moment badly needs it...

In addition to the 2-22 illumination (see precedent post), three other buildings in Montreal's Quartier des spectacles are now illuminated as part of a "mise en lumière" program for the neighbourhood:

La Cinémathèque Québécoise


St-James United Cathedral


And Cabaret Underworld

Colourful streetscapes are the best. I like the lighting effect on the sidewalk in front of the Cabaret. Neat!

The Quebec Parliament is sweet tied for my favorite with the BC Legislature.


I thought this pic was pretty cool. Some fun floating down the Bow River through downtown Calgary.

Thanks man, you helps my love for Calgary growing for every nice photo you post

Dumbass question : As Calgary is being SO attractive in the last years, do you start to hear a little bit of french ?

Actually yes! One of my best girl friends is dating a guy from the Eastern Townships, just outside of Sherbrooke. He speaks really good English, but his mother-tongue is French. Great guy. A bunch of other friends of friends are French as well, I have met quite a few since moving here, but I suspect there are a lot more Quebecois up in Fort McMurray and the refinery's in Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton.

Me thinks they've been too obvious with their insurance fraud.
