This is Montreal, Summer 2026

1:38 PM

I wish we would see more of these downtown. Close to the Atwater Public Market.

1:43 PM

The main building of the Atwater Public Market. This Art Deco-style building was built in 1933. What a beautiful day this was.

1:45 PM

I love public markets! So many photo opportunities!

1:51 PM

Street life in downtown Montreal. It was a superb day.

4:03 PM

I took this one for the lighting. A few years ago, I had an Instagram account for sharing images similar to that one. The account name, if translated from French, meant: Montreal is dying.

7:28 PM

Montreal has become a true bike city. The transformation over the past 15 years is remarkable, reminiscent of Amsterdam.

7:52 PM

The best public park in Montreal, the Sir Wilfrid Laurier park, where I used to stay close. I go there from time to time.

8:21 PM

Typical architecture of the Plateau Mont-Royal and part of Rosemont, Montreal. Built around 1890-1900. I think there is some Victorian style to this house (especially the balcony).

8:24 PM

Another typical architectural style example that you'll find in Montreal. These buildings were typically built circa 1930.

8:23 AM

A charming building from 1913, which I believe was once a popular cinema. It appears to be closed now. Unfortunately, many theaters have shut down in recent years, largely due to streaming services like Netflix.
