rue Prince Arthur

One sign that winter is at last behind us is when the fountain on rue Prince Arthur is filled and working again. So I was happy to see today that during the last week, the powers to be had removed the wooden winter cover and added a taste of summer to the pedestrianized street.

Unfortunately quite a few restaurants along this section of Prince Arthur have closed or been destroyed by fire and it doesn’t have quite the same atmosphere as it did in the past. Hopefully new restaurants will fill the gaps in the near future.

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.

The McGill Moose sculpture

May 17, 2013 by Montreal in Pictures | Leave a comment

Directly in front of the James Administration building on McGill Campus is a small sculpture garden that was opened in 2010.

One of the sculptures is a depiction of a moose. Unfortunately I don’t know the name of the artist or the official name of the sculpture. If you know, do share in the comments ;-)

The sculpture has some great texture, so I took a close up shot…reminded me a bit of a shot from space, so I dedicate this one to the Canadian hero and social media star Chris Hadfield who just returned from the International Space Station, and who for the last 5 months, shared so many great images of Earth from the ISS.
