Marche Bonsecours (Bonsecours Market), 1847. Was a public market for 100 years, now a shopping center.Bank of Montreal Head Office, 1847Pretty building in Old MontrealLe Stade Olympique for the 1976 Olympics. The tower was closed for renovations.Hôtel de ville (Montreal City Hall), 1878We were amused to find ice skating rinks without even the pretense of trying to shelter from the Canada cold. I mean – right on the water?Totem Urbain, Pierre Granche, 1992.Piece of the Berlin Wall. Given the number of these we’ve seen around the world, I’m starting to wonder if the Berlin Wall was a gazillion miles long.La Leçon (The Lesson), Cédric Loth, 2012. The laptop screen says “Steve Jobs est mort” (Steve Jobs is dead).Hotel Place d’Armes, 1870.Molson Bank Building, 1866.
