Photos from the Streets of Montreal

Some Photos from Montreal Visit. Not all, I took dozens.

RUE SAINT CATHERINE

The intersection of Rue Saint Catherine and Crescent Street - the main shopping thoroughfare of Montreal. Crescent Street is full of excellent eateries.

RITZ CARLTON MONTREAL

Ofcourse, I did not stay in this Hotel ! The Ritz Carlton on Sherbrooke won the best hotel in the world award a couple of years ago. It is located very close to McGill University.

SHOPPING IN MONTREAL

Again, Rue Saint Catherine ! Fabulous over-ground and under-ground shopping !! I bought a Nintendo DS Lite at the HMV Shop that you can see at the right corner, which was on sale.

THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

The photograph looks all right, but I did not bother to go in, though entry was free for McGill parents. I have had a dose of fine art during my trip to Europe 3 months ago, I just wanted to walk the streets, meet people, and take some interesting photos !

SAINT JOSEPH’S ORATORY OF MONT ROYAL

Fabulous Church, with ornate work inside. Beautiful park outside. It is located on Queen Mary Road, an exclusive suburb of Montreal.

BEAUTIFUL PARK - SAINT JOSEPH’S ORATORY

This park is just in front of the Saint Joseph’s Oratory. Fabulous view from the Oratory which is located on a small hill.

SKYLINE OF MONTREAL FROM MONT ROYAL



DSC07099, originally uploaded by vjsri99.

This view is from the Mont Royal Hill. At a distance you can see the Olympic Stadium.

ANOTHER VIEW FROM MONT ROYAL



DSC07101, originally uploaded by vjsri99.

Just another skyline shot from a digital camera - you can’t expect too much, but nevertheless for an itinerant photographer it is too itchy not to shoot almost everything !

AVENUE DU PARC, MONTREAL



DSC07030, originally uploaded by vjsri99.

I crossed this building everyday walking up the Avenue du Parc, it was just too beautiful to miss. Avenue du Parc is a long road, and it took me 20 to 25 minutes every morning and evening to go from my hotel to the University and back. The good thing is the weather is not humid, though it was quite warm (more than 26 deg C).

Enjoy the pics and Have a Wonderful Weekend

Cheers

    Thanks for the clarification, made a mistake - the first pic is indeed the intersection of Sherbrooke Street and Crescent Street.
    Thanks for the complements from all of the three of you.

    Regards

    Vijay
