Canada 2024 - Montreal I

In October of 2024 I took a road trip through Canada with stops in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. Although I have visited Windsor many times in recent years, I had not been to Toronto since middle school and I had never visited either Montreal or Quebec City. Naturally many of the things I wanted to see were architecturally significant, but I wanted to walk around and just experience these places as best as I could in the short amount of time I was visiting. Six days wasn’t nearly enough time but I did my best to see as much as I could. These images represent my favorites from my short romp.

This post consists of shots from out first stop as we got late into Montreal atop Mount Royal Park.
