FLICKR PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Posted by

Our photo of the week comes from Flickr whiz Madame B. She’s got a whole slew of delightful pics, including some stellar black & white work.

This photo, despite its ambiguous origins (iPhone app or Polaroid?), captures the iconic “Five Roses” sign in vintage, faded glory.  The sign has been an iconic part of the city’s skyline since its erection in 1948. With continued controversy over its future, ours suggestion is to plan a visit sooner than later, before it disappears from the Montreal skyline forever.

For more information check out the Farine Five Roses Art Project, which is devoted to maintaining and celebrating the historic billboard.

FLICKR PHOTO OF THE WEEK

This week we tip our hats to flickr user camwil2009 for this colorful shot, taken along the Lachine Canal. Running more than 14 kilometers long, from Old Montréal to Lac St. Louis, the canal is a great backdrop for a leisurely bike ride or a scrumptious picnic. Lunch and bicycles can both be found at the Atwater Market.

Check out the Lachine Canal Visitor’s Center if you are curious about the history of this unique Montréal landmark.
