Wonderful set. Love the Title and subtitle

Montreal must have caught the "Can-do" fever. Woot Woot!

What is Hell Hill?

SignalHillHiker · #**6870** Posted **Apr 24, 2018, 10:18 PM**

It's just fancy cabins on the Southern Shore. I forget exactly which towns its in between, but you see it if you drive south to hike La Manche or the Berry Hill Arch.

That "French" is unintelligible.

St. John's looks glorious in spring. I love the scale and intimacy of the city too.

----

Changing of subject...

When most people think of
BOUCHERVILLE, QC
This is the image that comes to mind :

IKEA, endless power centres, typical MTL-South-Shore strip malls and sprawling suburbia.
However, Boucherville also looks like that -
Memories from a walk in the heart of the town, one month ago, in the last weeks of March, 2018 :

First known as Les Îles-Percées and settled as soon as 1667, Boucherville was officially founded as La Sainte-Famille-de-Boucherville as a parish in 1678 (the first chapel was built there in 1670). It remained a rural farming village until the 1950s. The population of the place literally exploded after the construction of Louis-H.-LaFontaine Tunnel. The heart is intact. Today, it's a 40k suburb very well located in the metropolitan area, and mostly famous for its National Park located on a river archipelago in the middle of the St. Lawrence.

La Chaumière House, built in 1741

Relaxing in front of the islands

The Saint-Laurent and the islands

The heart of the village is made of a grid of narrow streets. The houses are built directly on the sidewalks.

The central place of the village and Sainte-Famille Church (built in 1801)
(Badly cropped and assembled panorama)

Best of both worlds : nature and the city. On the other side of the Saint-Laurent : the Olympic Stadium.

The Quintal House, built in 1727

Here are few photos from last Sunday's annual Sun Run event.

Downtown streets get flooded with runners and spectators alike.

There are all sorts of people and creatures running.

Crowds at the goal line.

After the event people are guided inside BC Place for drinks and some music.

Sun Run is a nice annual event in Vancouver and always a pleasure to witness when the weather is nice.

Aerial view of the Northwest Arm, an inlet that separates the Halifax peninsula from the mainland suburbs. It's the geographic equivalent of False Creek in Vancouver, and has a seawall, yacht clubs, etc. Many of the city's wealthier residents built estates in this area around 1800-1930, and then these were subdivided in later decades. The forested area around the lakes is a provincial park and became the city's water supply around 1830 or so.

Melville Island, the island with the yacht club, was an internment camp used from the War of 1812 up until World War I. About 8,000 American POWs were imprisoned there.
