The Cathédrale Marie Reine du Monde and rue Sainte-Catherine

This morning I was doing a little houskeeping up of my image library and found some shots taken back at the end of September that I had not yet posted. First a couple of shots taken of the Cathédrale Marie Reine du Monde on boulevard René-Lévesque.

If you’re interested in seeing some images of inside the Cathédrale Marie Reine du Monde, I posted some last year.

The nearby Marriott Chateau Champlain hotel is an interesting looking building – often referred to as ‘the cheese grater’ for obvious reasons…

A couple of other shots were taken from Place des Arts looking up Sainte-Catherine.

The first shows the 1501 McGill College avenue building juxtaposed with the Saint James United Church…

It’s been a while since I played with mirroring images and thought the above image could be transformed to resemble a spaceship by copying it both vertically and horizontally…

I guess I was in an reflective mood, as I tried the same horizontal/vertical copy method for the last shot too..
