Montreal, Summer 2009 - The Old City and Le Plateau

Cirrus · #1 Posted **Feb 18, 2010, 4:00 PM**

Last September I was in Montreal. Here are some pictures.

We'll start with the mandatory downtown shot, from Mont Royal. I believe it is Canadian law that every Montreal photo thread contain this picture.

Now, the Old City:

I can't help but take pictures of adorable little birds. Sorry.

Now moving out of the old city and into the more typical residential neighborhoods. I believe this picture is from the Latin Quarter.

Most of the rest of these should be the neighborhood Le Plateau.

Plaza in front of Mont Royal Metro station.

A couple of panoramas.

This is Place Jacques Cartier, in the Old City:

This is Place D'Armes, also in the Old City:

This is the north view from Mont Royal, into the residential part of the city:

Nice work. So much fab urban fabric. Montreal is one of the top cities on my to visit list for Canada...so gorgeous!

Great pics, but, so few of them.

Fantastic looking city! In terms of Canadian cities I haven't visited yet, it's definitely #1 on my list of must-see!

I assume there will be a transportation focused thread at some point (just going by past threads you've created)?

Kingofthehill: Unless you mean the panoramas, I'm not sure how you're getting washed out colors. I saturated many of them pretty considerably.

Darkoshville: If you really want to see more, there are more on my flickr page here, here and here. I didn't want to make the thread too long, so I limited how many pictures I posted here.

OhioGuy: Yes, there will be a transportation thread, as well as one for Quebec City.
