Photos from a boat on Saint-Lawrence River
I was on a boat with my father last Tuesday, travelling on "fleuve Saint-Laurent" in Montreal, when the weather was excellent for photography.
On the right of the first photo you can see Mont Royal, the mountain were I shoot most of my nature photos. Just beside are downtown's high buildings. In the middle is the Jacques-Cartier bridge which connects the city to the island Sainte-Hélène, which is mostly occupied by the amusement park La Ronde, and where festivals are held during most of summer.
Below is Clock Tower, built when people actually benefited from having a big clock on an high-rise building to be able to accurately measure Time. It's in Montreal's old port (Vieux-Port de Montréal).
A cargo ship. We endeavoured not to get in its way.
A military vessel.
The two sides of the bridge. The Molson brewery is visible on the latter.
I used a Sony a77 camera and a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens with a circular polarizing filter (hence the dramatic look of the clouds and waves).

Thank you :)
Bonjour! I'm in Brossard, not too far away. Cool to see some familiar places here on Steemit!
Hey salut! Première fois que je croise un "voisin" sur Steemit. Bonne St-Jean :D
They look terrific my friend, also I'm really happy that you enjoyed some good time alongside your old man.
Best regards.
Thanks! Yes it was quite nice, and also nostalgic because we used to go on a boat often in the summer when I was young.
It really makes me feel happy that you are able to enjoy such a valuable and joyful time with the ones you love, in this case your father. The reason of all the efforts we made to keep struggling despite difficulties is to be able to enjoy moments such as that one 😊
That's very well said!
