Flower basket, a giant milk bottle and an elevated bike

I didn’t have a lot of time to spend today at the computer, so only have a couple of quick shots to share.

The first couple of shots were taken last Wednesday during my quick photowalk in the vicinity around the Bell Centre.

A popular landmark in Montreal is the Guaranteed Milk Bottle water tower near the Bell Centre between rue de la Montagne and Lucien l’Allier.

I tried a few different processing styles on this, but decided in the end to go just for a black and white. I’ll let you decide if you prefer color or black and white since I downloaded a plugin that is a great way of showing before and after processing of images. Thanks to my friend Steve over in the UK for giving me the heads up on this great plugin. If you enjoy looking at great shots from the UK and HDR, you should check out his blog – EllisPictures

The last image for today was taken yesterday on rue Saint Denis. I thought the owner of this bike was being overly cautious not to have it stolen 😉

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.
