Have a seat

Montrealers are quite familiar with this urban sculpture. It rises above the Ville-Marie Expressway at the Fort street entrance / exit at the west end of downtown. It is part of the Canadian Centre for Architecture's "sculpture garden" in the green space that surrounds the concrete and ironwork of the expressway. According to the Centre, the sculpture garden "restores the urban fabric of an area deeply scarred by mid-20th-century highway engineering.”

It's always been a favorite of mine, a mental respite while en route to or from home or downtown. This was taken from inside the car while getting on the expressway. The Mr. was driving, I was shooting :D
