These giant cruise boats were in port, separated by the tall glass tower and the grassy seating area where they set up colourful red, blue, yellow and green deck chairs for the tour boat people. The boats are so small they have to use the tower, which has staircases and an elevator inside, to get down to ground level. The tower is a funny shape, like a lego leaning tower of Pisa.

This bench looked like a great place to sit, with full sun on top of a hill. Sitting in the bench, you would be looking back at the Montreal skyline. In the background on the right is the Concorde bridge with its dusty turquoise colour. There were plenty of fall colours today, this tree was almost entirely yellow.

I have never quite got this scene right despite trying several times, in this version the reflection seems too long, and the shape of the tower is off. But you get the sense of a blue sky and the Montreal scenery, on the right is the Molson Brewery, on the left is an old factory-turned condo.
