What's the first building on the left? That's not the Galleria is it?
BTW, I like the metal trees.
Yep, it is the Galleria (now called Citi Plaza).
Glad someone else likes the metal trees! Although that stretch of Wellington could use some actual trees in the median. The metal trees work better at street corners imo.

I love the colour they add {which downtown desperately needs with all the concrete bunkers} but also during the winter when things can look rather lifeless with no plant life.

Yeah, that last skyline shot was taken from St. Joseph's parking garage. One of the better spots I've found for taken pictures of the skyline, but it still doesn't catch a lot of the western-most buildings.
Couple recent pictures. Here's to crappy grain, jpeg artifacts and point-and-shoots!
Can the Crown on King be seen in this photo? Forgive me if it's sitting right in front of my face and I'm not seeing it. Is it to the far left? Or it almost looks like there's another crane in the picture just left of centre?

Yes, it's the building with the crane at the far left, beside the brown apartment building. Should be a nice additon to the skyline from some angles.

I don't mind graffiti if it's art like, or good graffiti. The problem is for the 1% of good stuff out there 99% of it is garbage or nonsense tagging. As a matter of fact I just last week wrote my ward councillor in Windsor here because the neighbourhood where I live is plague with tags that say either 'THC' or 'Pure' and I see it everywhere on everything and it sucks. no artistic merit to it, just a tag. God, I hope that someone gets frost-bitten fingers this winter (looks to the sky).
There is some really awesome graffiti out there worthy of being plastered all over the side of a building.
Grafitti in Montreal is amazing! I would love to see some like that here in Windsor, but we have nothing but douchebags ruining things here, like Symz just said.

The best vantage point is from Gibbons Lodge (residence of President of UWO), up on pill hill (north Richmond Street, at top of hill)

This is a pic I took the last time I went to Montreal about 4 years ago.
I had gone to Montreal 2 times previous, the last being in 2000 for new years and this mural was there and that's like an 8 year gap, so I assume it's probably still there, just touched up.
I think there's a pizza place at the ground floor and it's a small building, and only 3-4 stories I think, right on St. Catherines. Sorry if the photo is dark.
