montréal winter solstice

the view from above. snow-blanketed city. i thought to myself: isn't it spring already? can i take this bitter cold?

hah. the requisite 'welcome to montreal' sign at the airport.

wide open space at the immigration and customs area. the immigration officer who interviewed me was very kind and friendly.

the museum of contemporary arts aka musée d'art contemporain in front of the complexes desjardins. a hill of snow is dumped a few meters from the museum's entrance.

hotel de ville (montreal city hall) along rue notre dame, a very fine piece of architecture that is way too common along the streets of montreal. a few blocks down is old montreal, a well-preserved area of the city where older-looking establishments such as art galleries and quiant restaurants abound.
