Before visiting Quebec, I had a short Layover in Montreal and took the time to explore it’s historic port and take some pictures of the impressive skyline.
The best moment was climbing Mount Royal early in the morning to see the skyline at sunrise. From above, the tall buildings slowly lit up and the city woke under a soft glow. With my camera I tried to capture that quiet moment before the streets filled with life.
Later I walked through the historic port. The mix of old warehouses, wide quays, and the St. Lawrence River gave the area a strong character. Seen through my infrared camera it looked almost surreal, with bright glowing trees against the stone buildings and the water.
Montreal felt less about monuments and more about atmosphere. It is a city where modern life and history stand side by side, and where you can discover a new perspective just by changing the light in which you see it.
