Autumn views from Glen hill

Standing up on Glen hill behind the mega hospital provides excellent views of Montreal and the southern neighborhoods. In the foreground, there were a variety of trees with different autumn colours ranging from green to red to orange to yellow. The cars were moving along the highway like red blood cells travelling through a blood vessle. To create contrast I did the cars with a black, white red and green colour scheme which popped against the earthy and warm surrounding elements.

From the same location looking east there is a good view of the curving highway and downtown core. Last time I was here the hill was overgrown with wildflowers and blue butterflies, today it was mowed, and only a few butterflies were left over. The weather has been furtunate although still a little chilly lately. Yellow and olive are predominant, there is not much orange or red this autumn.
