Montréal City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) is a Second Empire–style building completed in 1878. It features a mansard roof, central clock tower, and symmetrical stone façade. After a 1922 fire, the interior was rebuilt with Beaux-Arts influences and modern administrative spaces.
You should have noticed me using my phone often to capture buildings and interiors on this trip. The outside was too cold, so I did not want to take my new camera out. In addition, my current setup (an APS-C with a 28 mm lens or the kit lens) was not enough to provide the wide-angle needed to capture these beautiful pieces of history.
Here is the reflection game I captured during a sunny Montreal morning. A cityscape in such an un-real framed view of the town.
It is a beautiful, sunny but frigid day! And oh the wind! The walk is enjoyable because I am dressed for it ... that means long johns! This city is fantastic. It is larger than life. A place for dreamers to build their dreams. Even if they are this big. This city is one of a kind. Artistic, cultural and steeped in learning.
Montréal is the cradle of civilization. The warmth of the people is unmatched.

I just love walking through the Old end of towns....Montreal & Quebec city are truly the best.... cobblestone streets, stone and wooden buildings..... it just gives a great feeling of going back in time..... cool

Old Montreal is the oldest area in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with few remains dating back to New France. Located in the borough of Ville-Marie, the area is bordered on the west by McGill St., on the north by Ruelle des Fortifications, on the east by Rue Saint Andre and on the south by the Saint Lawrence River. Following recent amendments, the district has been expanded slightly to include the rue des Soeurs Grises in the west, Saint Antoine St. in the north and Saint Hubert Street in the east. It also includes the Old Port of Montreal. Most of Old Montreal was declared an historic district in 1964 by the Ministère des Affaires culturelles du Québec
