Appearance
I went to Montreal the first week of October, 2006. These are some of the pictures I took there. (I may or may not upload more.)
Green text, often appearing several times in proximity, means that I haven't yet found/written the article to which I should link. Often this is because I could try several different translations of the same name: Wikipedia's policy is that article titles appear in English.

Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica, in Old Montreal. Yes, it's an oblique shot, but there were too many other tourists in the way to get a head-on shot. (Those tourists were all taking pictures of the church.)
-
A street in Old Montreal, near the Old Port. This one looked better in person, but the camera doesn't always see things the way its user does.
-
Another street in Old Montreal, looking towards the Marché Bonsecours. Rue Saint-Paul seen from the corner of rue Berri. In the distance is the dome of the Marché Bonsecours, with the spire of Notre-Dame de Bonsecours to its left.
-
The Marché Bonsecours, and trees along the waterfront. The Marché Bonsecours, from the Quai Jacques-Cartier (near the Pavillion du Bassin Bonsecours. In the foregorund are the Parc du Bassin Bonsecours and (predictably) some of the Bassin Bonsecours.
-
Downtown Montreal seen from the city's namesake geographical feature. Mont-Royal offers a great view of downtown Montreal — if you're willing to undertake the hike. (I live in a walk-up and was thouroughly out of breath half way up. But then again, I was carrying my camera: it's of the stick-shift variety, which can get heavy.)
