More reflections, st Denis street

Looking south down st Denis street, the ferris wheel could be seen in the distance, and a prominent street light and window reflecting some trees were in the foreground. Connecting the scene is the street with a little bit of traffic.

The cinema on st Denis street has art deco styling,  such as the large curved glass feature above the entrance. Shaped like the prow of a ship, it was reflecting some trees and a building from across the street. Inside the structure, some curtains and lights were visible through the tinted glass.

Looking at this window provided a good view of the cafe across the street in its reflection. A no parking sign, in the typical 'Montreal orange' colour made with the paints called orange (PO62) and red-orange (PO73) anchors the composition.

An indigenous female art collective makes wall murals around Montreal, such as this one on the side of a simple block-shaped building with red bricks. Trees were reflecting in the upper windows. The brick colour was made with raw sienna (PBr7) and pyrol red (PR254) with some burnt sienna (PR101).

This old factory is derelict, it was the subject matter for Zen Factory painted last year. Not on st Denis street, this is near the Lachine canal off of st Patrick street. Most all of the small window inserts were smashed, leaving some shards that reflected the trees growing tall in the vacant lot. On google maps it is called Factory Bando.
