That whole complex is part of McGill University.

[Jularc]

Those are some awesome Montreal arials! :tup:

[flar]

Thanks for the excellent views

[StreetsOfOmaha]

I LOVE these. I can't stop looking at that second photo! Fantastic.

[Kilgore Trout]

the second photo is really remarkable. i love how you can clearly make out mount royal's topography, which is rare in an aerial image.

[myord]

:skyscraper::skyscraper::skyscraper: Last one's my favorite

[Evergrey]

fabulous city

[bpg88]

Truly amazing photos. I personally like the first one best.

[BostomTom]

The Royal Victora Hospital complex will soon be replaced with a modern hospital some distance away. A fantastic group of buildings but not very amenable to 21st century medicine. McGill University will likely use most of the complex for its medical and science schools expansion. Almost the entire complex is protected from demolition, except for some plain post war additions.

[Kilgore Trout]

yes, and the new mcgill hospital complex will be designed by moshe safdie.

[Tom In Chicago]

Interesting photos. . . I didn't realize how intensley urbanized Montreal is. . . much larger than I originally pictured it. . .

If someone were to tell me Montreal had 10 million people I would believe it. What's with these awesome Canadian cities with small metro poppulations. All those streets seem like they produce a lot of eye candy from the threads I have seen on here. Great post.

[scumtoes]

nice! great pics

[malek]

super find elsonic

[Kilgore Trout]

here's another view from the same photographer:

[theWestisDead]

amazing stuff, living in Montreal really can be a treat and those arials capture how graceful and well developed everything can seem despite past misteps and negelct. I think these pics should cement the city's reputation as one of North America's finest!

[Altauria]

What an amazing-looking city. I always thought I'd love it there if I were to ever visit. Could one get by without knowing French?

[YUNEMUS]

Great photos...Thanks for sharing....I love Montreal

[Stanzmastertron3000]

*swoon*

[PhilippeMtl]

What an amazing-looking city. I always thought I'd love it there if I were to ever visit. Could one get by without knowing French?

Certainly yes! Montreal is, first of all, a bilingual city.

[Altauria]

^I thought so. Merci.

[ecsider]

awesome pic you found elsonic (except for the wing tip on the top left corner!), the others are great as well.

MTL is a great city to visit; almost everyone there is bilingual french/english.

[G.S MTL]

crazy!!!!! i love em all

[jiaodagongjian]

in the second pic
there are no glass in front of the camera

[zerokarma]

Great shots from above!

One of the best things about Montreal: NO SURFACE PARKING LOTS!

True that there aren't tons of surface parking lots, but there are still quite a few. Luckily, many of them have been developed over the past 5 years. THere are less and less surface parking lots downtown!

by the way, everyone of those pictures was great. good job boys!

[mSeattle]

I'd love to pay Montreal a visit.

i dont think 3.7 million is small for a metro population. I mean compared to NYC or L.A yes but those are just huge...and the photos ur seeing here is just the city of Montreal (island) actually just half of the island but on the entire island there is 1.9 million People.

[Grumpy]

that last picture posted by KT is gorgeous

[Paintballer1708]

Awesome set of photos. Montreal is an amazing looking city.

[Xeelee]

looks nice.

[Hozay]

awesome.

[niwell]

Great shots. It's interesting how you can clearly make out the Mount Royal Neighbourhood north of the mountain. Very different from the surrounding areas.

[Kilgore Trout]

Great shots. It's interesting how you can clearly make out the Mount Royal Neighbourhood north of the mountain. Very different from the surrounding areas.


it's a great example of how imaginary municipal boundaries have a real effect on the cityscape. one side of l'acadie boulevard is lined by five-storey walkups and decrepit 20-storey apartment towers; the other side is lined by a fence and, beyond that, single-family homes with BMWs parked in the driveways.

and that's just the superficial difference. park extension is one of canada's poorest neighbourhoods, 80% nonwhite, 60% immigrant; the town of mount royal is one of canada's richest towns, 15% nonwhite, 30% immigrant.

[MolsonExport]

Bump. These shots are just too good to lose.

[peanut gallery]

Thank you for that bump. These are amazing shots!

[ady26]

I think Montreal is like a smaller New York!

[Coldrsx]

nice! I espcially like this one for i have eaten in the dome suspended in the air along with the amazing red restaurant just west of it.

Now, if you pay attention to this picture I will show you exactly where I live : there is a park almost in the center part of this picture. Take it to the left of this park and to the very left edge of the pic, you can see a church (two steeples and a dome). My house is right next to it. :tup:
Would I decide to walk downtown (which I do once in a while), it would take me about 50 minutes.

[PA Pride]

Great city.

[le calmar]

Thanks for bumping the thread, otherwise I would have missed it!

[TinChelseaNYC]

Great thread! Very impressive place!
