Scenes of construction and concrete factory

Down in Ville st Pierre there are plenty of neat scenes of the highway overpasses, and this past few years its been in the midst of a massive construction project. Once known as one of Montreal's most dangerous intersections, now its completely safe because the cars are basically stopped at all times and there are crossing guards everywhere. This view shows a grassy hillside casting a shadow, with construction in the foreground.

The blue house is surrounded by construction pylons as you can see in this painting. A curvy arrow sign tells drivers where to go. Okay, I tend to embellish signs on occasion for maximum confusion. That is how people feel when they see such signs. A traffic cop was directing things too, which helped ease confusion.

A massive concrete factory on the Lachine canal was chugging away with a lineup of concrete trucks taking loads. In this scene I featured three interconnected concrete pipes and place my initials at their ends. It was best to not copy too much actual detail, rather, just get the feel of it all.
