Stade Olympique Photo

Photographer’s Note

Site of the 1976 Olympics in Montréal. There is a viewing platform at the top of the leaning tower which offers nice view of the city, although it is a bit far-off the town centre.

Jeremy,
This is a nice shot of this spaceship looking stadium. I have not been to this place since before the Expos left. The sky is what makes this shot with the streaks and puffy clouds against the deep blue backdrop. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hi
I've been to Montreal. I'm originally from Newfoundland, now living in Vancouver.

I'm surprised they havn't torn down that stadium...people call it the Toilet Bowl !
Its a piece of junk.
Looks good on the outside though

Hello Jeremy,
Nice shot, great composition. Looks like the Martians have landed!
Cheers, Dasha

Very unusual architecture. Presumably you could walk round it, but I think you made the right choice with this framing with the tall piece well placed in the composition. The sky is beautiful and a good feature of the image.
