M is for Montréal which we visited in 2003 for a very wet and windy 2 hours while we waited for our coach to take us to the railway station for an overnight train journey to Halifax.
The 2 hours just allowed a little time to visit the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal and basically shelter from the rain ..
It's very beautiful inside and I managed to capture these images
It was very dark inside from what I can remember so I was quite lucky to get these photographs.
.
It lookes like a place worth visiting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sights I'm sure.. :O)

These remind me of the dark churches in Jerusalem. Hard to photograph but you've done a nice job here.
ReplyDeleteMontreal is on my list of places I want to visit. I enjoyed your photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring Montréal, one of my favourite cities in my country Canada, on ABC Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will be able to spend more time exploring Montréal on future trips.

Altar paintings are some of my most intriguing motives. So much beauty and so much pain
ReplyDeleteA rather Magnificent shelter.
ReplyDeleteIt's very beautiful indeed!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures--what a beautiful place. I enlarged them to see the great murals behind the altar. Very nice. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletep.s. Good luck with the mushrooms. You'll have to keep us posted.
Sound like a beatiful M. The artwork is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very ornate church! I don't think I've ever been in one quite so colourful and decorative!
ReplyDeleteWe were in Montreal in July and the churches there were so beautiful....we loved Montreal.
