drwex | Anticipation - Montreal Worldcon photos

Hard to take pictures of people on panels when the seats aren't raked. Some photos of the city taken on the walking tours. Really a shame the Haunted House restaurant was closed (best I could make out was that it had been closed for failure to pay taxes) - I would have liked to see its interior decor.

Montreal has some interesting architecture but with the narrow streets and large groups of people it wasn't easy to get shots of much of it. There's an old city, an "asia city", and a modern city all sort of cheek-by-jowl with each other. It reminded me a little of New Orleans, which will probably not make sense to anyone who hasn't spent time in both places; I'm not sure if I can explain it.
