Day 8 Montreal

Walking east along the St Lawrence before heading inland walking the length of Sherbrooke up to the Jardin botanique de Montréal. Incredible creation of different ecosystems from around the world and the plants that survive in each of them. Back down through Place du Village (supposedly a hip downtown venue but seems to have an appeal for a lot of homeless people.) Homelessness and substance abuse are a widespread problem (not just in Canada). I try not to exploit the images of homeless people. It is simply an important part of the cityscapes and rather than ignore it I try to bring it into focus as honestly as possible.
