Mont Royal, Montreal by Zeb Andrews
Via Flickr:
I think one of my favorite parts of Montreal turned out to be Mont Royal Park at the heart of the city. This is probably because I visited right at the peak of fall colors to an already beautiful place was at another level with the autumnal foliage in abundance. The park itself is elegantly designed, being the work of Frederick Law Olmsted, known for painting "with lakes and wooded slopes; with lawns and banks and forest-covered hills". So maybe it is no wonder this park was my favorite discovery in this new-to-me city. Zero Image 2000 Kodak Ektar 100

These Victorian Houses are located in Square Saint Louis in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. The historic square is located near Sherbrooke metro station and Prince-Arthur street.
You’ll find a beautiful fountain ⛲️ in the middle of the park, a former “vespasian”(called “camillienne” in Montréal) building transformed into a small café. A great poet, Émile Nelligan, grew up near by on Laval avenue, hence the statue of him in the Square.

"Le lac des Castors," La Patrie. July 25, 1943. Cover.
----
Des foules nombreuses se rendent tous les dimanches au lac des Castors, au mont Royal. Ce ac constitue un attrait pour toute la population. Au peint de vue paysagiste, c'est une perle.
Pour fournir l'eau courante au lac des Castors, on a foré un puits artésien. L'eau est amenee au lac par une pompe actionnee par l'electricite. Ici des enfants s'amusent prés de la cascade qui tombe dans le lac.
Les parents, qui vont passer de belles heures au lac des Castors, ne manquent pas d'y amener leurs enfants. Même les plus petits s'y amusent et s’intéressent aux petits voiliers et aux canards blancs.
