Sci Fi or Montreal?

This looks more like one of my palette cleansers or doodle paintings that an actual scene from Montreal. I saw this scene on my way back home on the bike path, down across from Peel Basin. Its some sort of industrial appendage attached to a row of tall storage silos. Maybe its were they keep the tachyon energy to power the time machine. Who knows, is this scene science fiction or Montreal?

To paint the sky this way, I circled the shape of the sun behind the clouds with a peachy orange, than fanned it out with warm grey and salmon hues at the horizon. While still wet I applied the purplish clouds with mixtures of indo blue (PB60) magenta (PV19) and red (PV175). The idea was to keep everything loose and hazy, with a dream-like quality.
