Getting down to the Lachine canal by bike, here is a scene I have done several times before, its the billboard next to a highway overpass. The canal is in the foreground at the bottom. A fleck of black paint landed in the sky so I turned it into a flock of birds.

A horizontal composition of the canal and bike path (bottom left), with some long shadows from trees behind me. Across the canal, cars crawled along st Patrick street.

Usually I see these factories all closed up, but today I caught them still open briefly. You see the garage door open a little with mysterious stuff inside. The facade looked like an angry elephant!

I really thought this one was derelict judging by the amount of rust, but today it was humming and whirring, a giant cylinder was in operation doing something important. A van pulled out and they place closed up.
