Between Two Bars

Through the bars, you get a glance of the port. The water. The old boat, the new one, and then something much larger. A mass almost overshadowing the emblematic buildings that form the Old Port skyline.

The more sentimental will notice the former Radio-Canada headquarters, now decommissioned. A newer, more modern, and much shorter building has already taken its place, replacing the presence once held by the brutalist 23-storey brown tower.

All of this skyline is held together by the water. Visibly unsettled, with its apparent waves, yet made quiet by the nature of photography. Among the few landscape images still allowed to breathe in this social-media-driven era, this body of water soothes the frame and holds everything together.
