Blue sky Autumn in Le Plateau

On the way back from Anatol Spices, this scene caught my eye of a yellow tree and a green planter with lavender still growing. At this time, the sky was all blue and the sun was shining as strong as it does in Autumn. With the trees changing colour, its a good chance to practice making natural-looking yellow and oranges.

On st Dominique and Beaubien there is the well-kept Dépanneur Chea Enr. Unlike most, this dépanneur is very clean, in good repair, and with fresh paint all around. I liked how the Molson Export sign played on the blue background, and the green/red contrast of the colour scheme of the shop. The sign was painted with enough detail such that anyone who knows the beer would know what the label says. Its a popular brand in Montreal.
