Montreal Church Landscape

Don't ask me why, but these last two pictures from Montreal are by far my favourites from the group. The two HDR's here just seem to have the look that I love in a landscape HDR. What do you think? These definitely go into favourites folder of all the images that I have made of the last little while.

Contrast

What I like best about this HDR image isn't the classic well kept look of the grounds surrounding this Montreal church, but rather the contrast that is portrayed in the image. There is a flagrant difference between the architecture employed in the church and its surroundings compared to the blatant modern buildings which are all around it.

Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral

Here are a few images from the Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral or Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde in Montreal. While wandering Montreal we went into the church to admire the amazing architecture that often "plagues" majestic churches such as this. I love photographing these places as the beauty and architecture does all the work for me.

Resting Place

Street Photography

After Quebec city, the next place that I took pictures was while wandering around downtown Montreal. Although there are many photogenic parts of Montreal, the next few posts and the majority of the pictures I took that afternoon focused on the churches of the area. This picture was too interesting to pass up and I even got past my slight discomfort of taking pictures of random strangers *coughwithouttheirconsentcough* to get it. This image had a name before I even got a chance to jump out from the bushes to snap the shot ... Sanctuary.

Dipping Under the Bridge

Easter weekend a got out for the first time in a long time to get a few pictures. I found this place by accident (I didn't realise that the sun would be going down right beside the bridge this time of the year) and made a point of coming back the next day to get some images. Below are a couple that came out of it all.
