Parc du Souvenir is a small square with a few benches and plenty of tall trees. Oddly enough, the ground appears to be paved in asphalt, and covered in old leaves. A turquoise tent was set up towards the back to the park, behind, two highway overpasses and hints of Montreal's skyline can be seen. The trees are done with a mix of earth paints, applied over top of the background elements.

This on-ramp connect Fort street to highway 136 (Boulevard Ville Marie), and goes over the train tracks. Typical 'sweaty' Montreal concrete is adorned with a yellow paint tag by PJD26, done with bismuth vanadate yellow (PY184).

This off-ramp connect the highway to st Marc street downtown. There is actually a wide area called the Ernest Cormier Esplanade which is a mix of grassy lawns, concrete slabs, and architectural-style sculptures. Its a surprisingly good place to stand and paint urban scenes, and there might be a large number of flowering shrubs, good to check out again in May.
