Photographer’s Note
Montreal's Olympic Stadium was built for the 1976 Olympics and is still used by the Expos and other events. The tower is the world's tallest one on an incline. You can take an elevator to the top and supposedly see a wonderful view of Montreal, but we didn't have time to do that and the Insectarium and the Botanical Gardens. The crab-like structure is the Biodome, which used to be the bicycle racing stadium for the Olympics. It now houses a series of habitats with different animals and plants. The stadium is behind the Biodome in this image.
I rotated the image a little, adjusted the levels, and sharpened and resized it before uploading.

Excellent clarity in this photo. I've been here and I'm sure it was tough to find a good spot to get both the tower and the biodome in the photo. Good shot.
