Description
On the eastern part of Montreal, between Pie-X and Viau boulevard and between Sherbrooke street and Pierre de Coubertin street lies Montreal Olympic Stadium. Sometimes it reminds us of a landed alien space ship and sometimes we may even think that there is a giant Brontausaurus looming ahead.
I arrived there one morning and saw these beautiful perspective lines. It was fortunate that some gardener's hose had been dripping water. It offered a compositional balance between the clouds, the walls and the foreground as well as the bonus of some reflections. I thought an orange filter was needed to dramatize the sky. I waited in vain for some subject. Nothing came on that sunday morning! Desperately, I fixed the camera on a tripod, set the timer for ten seconds and tried ro emulate Carl Lewis on the 100 metre dash.
