Painting up the Wall

Across the Lachine Canal you can see an old factory and grain silo that was turned into condos and a climbing center. The colourful dots are the climbing grips that allow courageous people to scale to the top. The rest of the scene is fairly standard, it turned out looking quite realistic, and you get the feel of a scorching Montreal summer.

There are actually parts of three different bridges here, the highest one is the new light rail transit, the middle one in rusty iron is what used to be a swivel-bridge for trains but is now defunct, and the concrete one in the front is a highway. Of course, the bike path is in front. Tucked behind it all is the Farine Five Roses sign that sits on top of Canada Malting company.
