Besides being a photographer, I'm also the guitarist with the rowdy folk fusion group, The Mad Maggies. I was programmer/web developer for Communication Arts magazine for 15 years before going rogue. I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Montréal, Québec in 2013. In 2023, I relocated to Penticton, BC -- better weather.

Montreal from on high

Maggie and I walked about 15 miles today which started with a trek from our hotel up Rue Peel to the top of Parc du Mont Royal. This was one image of the view we saw:

Montreal view from Mont Royal

The street in the center of the photo is Rue Peel.

Note: I’m finding simple image manipulation to be quite burdensome on the iPad. It’s doable, but resizing SUCKS! (The weird blurriness in the foliage is from the resizing tool.) I’ll be redoing the posted images from the trip once I get home.

Canon G11 on the road.

No Wi-Fi

The 10,000 mile photo blog will commence after we reach Montreal–no Wi-Fi on the trains. Beautiful trip so far, and other than no connectivity the Canadian ViaRail experience has been exceptional! And the scenery has been stunning!

We’re currently on a short layover in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

More to come (plus photos) in a few days.
