As I slogged up Peel towards the downtown core, I caught a good view of the sun peeking out from behind one giant glass tower and reflecting on the adjacent one. The view is looking up, in the direction of st Antoine west, the tower on the left is probably The Canadiens tower 3. Today, I brought along some old paintings done on 7.5 x 11" pieces of cold press paper, there was nothing on their backs until now! So there is still writing in pencil at the bottom here, it could be easily erased if needed.

Usually its geese honking as they fly south, but today it was hundreds of cars honking their horns on Rene-Leveque boulevard, while waving Palestinian flags. Cop cars were interspersed in the traffic, they had red, white, and blue lights blinking (although no sirens). The whole spectacle looked like some kind of bizarre parade, but it obviously had something to do with the situation in the Middle East. One can only hope a sort of peace can be enacted to end the violence. Last night, I read parts of a Monet art book and he painted The Rue Montorgueil in Paris which depicted French flags on a narrow city street, that event was meant to celebrate 'peace and work' in France in 1878.
