Montreal

Photographer's Note

This photo was taken on the banks of the Lachine Canal. This canal was an important place of Canada's industrial development. The name "Lachine" comes from the fact that the arrival of the French in Canada, they looked for a way across Canada to China. Today, many of these old industrial buildings have been converted into condo building. Today the National Park, the navigation channel is now reserved for boating and sports.

This image demonstrates the presence of this wonderful place a few blocks from downtown.

Bonjour Réjean,

Le canal Lachine devient de plus en plus beau depuis que les vieilles usines se transforment en condos et en lofts. Le train donne de la vie à l'image qui est très colorée.

Amicalement

Serge

a colourful snapshot from the life of the city with the people to enjoy the Nature in Lachine canal in the industrial area of Montreal.

I hope the bridge is strong enough to hold that train otherwise the people in that yellow kayak are in big trouble. Looks like it's a beautiful day to go kayaking. Good lighting and dof with nice details. Well done, tfs.

Salut Réjean
Excuse le terme anglais, j'appelle ça une "action pack photo" tellement il y`à de choses a regarder.

It looks like you caught the canal on a very busy day, Rejean! I'm sure having such a scenic waterway downtown creates a great recreational area. I'm sorry I've missed this on my trips to Montreal.

Bonsoir Réjean,

La distance entre la locomotive et les immeubles donne de la profondeur à l'image. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs des immeubles et de la locomotive. La bonne luminosité valorise les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hello Rejean

A nice city view with several interesting elements. I like the juxtaposition between the powerful train and the hand-operated boats. Wonderful skyline as a backdrop. Very nice work:) TFS. Enjoy your WE.

Best regards, Erling

Bonsoir Réjean,
Une belle image qui nous montre un secteur achalandé au niveau transport.Tos ces petits canots bien colorés et ce train qui s'est invité dans la photo ajoutent beaucoup de vie à l'ensemble de la photo.Les architectures variées complètent bien le décor.Bravo.
Salutations
Alain
