The weather was quite pleasant today, cool with a clear blue sky. With lower evening temperatures the leaves changed colours a bit more although most trees were still green and brown. In this scene, the locks were in the foreground, and some old silos and the new cruise boat tower in the background. I embellished the trees, there was a warm yellow, an orange-red, and maroon colours.

This vacant lot was bought up by the city of Montreal with plans to turn it into a park. The developers have been building sky scrapers at a phenomenal pace as you can see in the background. Large chunks of concrete were strewn about, they look like piles of snow! The middle ground building is a converted warehouse, it has bright blue awnings, and shops on the ground level.

Between the condos they installed a biodiversity area, which consists of a board walk surrounded by wispy trees that almost look like bamboo but are thinner. It was very windy today but I was somewhat protected sitting here. My back is facing the bike path and canal, so this view is to the north towards downtown Montreal.
