Masks are mandatory indoors but not outdoors, according to Quebec health regulations.

Absolutely gorgeous production. I love how the scenes and settings are intermixed in the same way you'd encounter them while exploring in real life.

Wow, magnifique

You should share it on https://m.facebook.com/groups/montrealthenandnow/ just to enjoy the West Islanders grumpy "downtown has been killed by bike lanes" reactions!

After a few days of unseasonably cool weather, Friday was gorgeous and sunny, so I dropped any pretence of doing work and went on a bike ride to the Parc des Rapides in LaSalle.

I passed through downtown, walked along Wellington Street in Verdun (which is pedestrianized for the summer), biked along the river to the rapids, then returned to the Plateau, where I wandered along Mont-Royal Avenue (also pedestrianized for the summer) and back home to Mile End.

City feels so lively and vibrant in all these pictures, it makes think I should go outside and try to capture my own city like that while weather is still warm. I must admit I haven't felt like going anywhere or photographing anything lately.

The city is way quieter than it would be in a normal summer. With virtually no tourists and none of the usual festivals or events, and people not travelling across town as much as they used to, the action has shifted more to local neighbourhoods. Mont-Royal is teeming, as is Wellington in Verdun and Ontario in Hochelaga to a lesser degree. St-Viateur has been turned into a shared street with room for patios and picnic tables and it's a lot busier at night than usual. But downtown, Old Montreal, the Latin Quarter and the Village, which are normally packed all summer, are pretty empty.

Sounds like the case in Toronto (and I'd imagine most other cities) as well.

Traffic downtown and in the traditionally popular shopping, nightlife, and tourist areas is way down; but the local neighborhood commercial strips & parks are as busy as ever. And with most of the activity being pushed outdoors with patios & shops spilling out into the street, there's a certain kind of streetlife that feels more vibrant than ever, even it it's quieter overall.

Definitely. I really hope that after this the looser patio regulations become the norm.
