Wow! What a pretty neighbourhood you live in, Martin!

You enjoyed a very pleasant weather yesterday in Montreal, as we can see people enjoying at the parks and green areas.

I observe that the majority of the leaves on the trees are still green. Is it normal by the end of September? I remember my first visit to your pretty city by this time and I was amazed with the spectacular colours of the foliage.

I hope you show more pictures in the next weeks. I adore Montreal.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

There are few cities (other than my own) that I have a strong crush on, such a strong attraction for. :-) Gorgeous, Martin.

I've walked these streets so often that I actually recognize most of these buildings - I notice a particular love for Laval. An under rated part of the Plateau in my opinion is the section around St Dominque and Colonial. Montreal grunge at its finest. Falling apart rowhouses with that I cant put my finger on it charm.

A neighborhood where every single block really does have its own distinct identity.

I love how the foliage is so intense with all the trees, vines, and flowers. A real urban jungle!
