Bonjour Andre,

C'est bizarre, mais comme j'habite tout près de Montréal et que j'aime le vieux Montréal, je ne suis pas encore allé prendre des photos de la grande roue et toi tu y es déjà.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Andre
I always enjoy shots from Montreal, its a Canadian City that I havn't spent much time in, so its a learning experience for me every time. great to see the large wheel dominating the skyline, and the light is very attractive too, not too bright, not too dark. I wish Vancouver would add a large wheel like that! fun shot. cheers
