Montreal - View from the Olympic Tower

I was in Montreal for the first time two weeks ago. Obviously, I just had to climb the Olympic tower, part of Montreal's 1976 Olympic complex. At 175 meters, its the tallest inclined building in the world.

Enjoy

Great photos! I took a tour of the stadium a few years ago, but unfortunately did not go up the tower.

Never been up there, now I wish I had been.

I like the uncharacteristic views of Anjou and Laval. Most shots we see are directly towards downtown (don't get me wrong, those are awesome!)

Great pictures. The building has a nice view. I also like the pool pictures, being a former collegiate swimmer myself.
