Taken on a 28 hour fly in visit to Montreal. Found this in the city center whilst finishing lunch - short break. icy cold, my hands were stiff numb. The dampness in the air made it more difficult. Well got a shot or two .
This is DRI. Used two sets of exposures . 2 composites generated from 5 exposures each. Auto blending modes for each composite. Layered back (blending mode) a darker expsoure for the contrast . layer masked the 2 composites ;-)
While looking up at a building in Montreal, I was amazed at the various elements emerging from one small area.
Puente Jacques Cartier y Torre del Reloj.
El puente Jacques-Cartier cruza el río San Lorenzo, enlazando la isla de Montreal y la ciudad de Longueuil, en la orilla sur.
Fue abierto a la circulación el 14 de mayo de 1930. El puente se inauguró con el nombre de Pont du Havre, pero fue rebautizado Pont Jacques-Cartier en 1934 como contestación a la petición popular, para honrar así al explorador que descubrió Canadá en 1534. Construido en acero y con un coste de 75 millones de dólares, los trabajos duraron dos años y medio.
La torre del reloj o Tower Clock es un edificio del año 1922 que simboliza la entrada al Vieux-Port de Montreal.
Es una torre de 45 metros de altura creada por el ingeniero montrealés Paul Leclaire.
Aparece en las fotos mas icónicas de la ciudad de Montreal.
Conmemora a los marineros canadienses que murieron en la Primera Guerra Mundial.
La Tower Clock fue construido en Inglaterra y su mecanismo es similar al que impulsa el famoso Big Ben en el Palacio de Westminster.
Jacques Cartier Bridge and Clock Tower.
The Jacques-Cartier Bridge crosses the Saint Lawrence River, linking the island of Montreal and the city of Longueuil, on the south bank.
It was opened to traffic on May 14, 1930. The bridge was inaugurated under the name Pont du Havre, but was renamed Pont Jacques-Cartier in 1934 in response to popular demand, to honour the explorer who discovered Canada in 1534. Built in steel and costing $75 million, the work lasted two and a half years.
The Clock Tower is a building from 1922 that symbolises the entrance to the Vieux-Port of Montreal.
It is a 45-metre-high tower created by Montreal engineer Paul Leclaire.
It appears in the most iconic photos of the city of Montreal.
It commemorates the Canadian sailors who died in the First World War. The Tower Clock was built in England and its mechanism is similar to that which powers the famous Big Ben at the Palace of Westminster.
Created from a photo I snapped while visiting Montreal. The ironwork and woodworking above a door we passed was amazing craftsmanship.
