The rain held off but there was steady drizzle today and heavy cloud cover. Usually I would zoom down the bike path here into ville st Henri on route to the Lachine canal, but today I played it safe and stayed closer to home. To the left of this scene is the Glen Hospital, named after the Glen train yard which is where my Grandfather used to work on trains back in the day. On the right is highway 720 through the downtown, there used to be a small village there before the highway was built. With dense clouds, the tops of the sky scrapers were enshrouded.

On the way back the rain continued to hold off, and some colourful dumpsters caught my eye. In the background is a waste depot building, and in front was a bright yellow and a bright red dumpster. Since the asphalt was wet, it was reflecting the colours of the dumpsters. I suppose the main draw is the bright colour which rarely appears in Montreal, I only get to paint these colours when doing abstract paintings or occasionally when objects like this appear.
