Dominion Square, 28 January 2013

How the city looked in January 2013 . . . 

Dominion Square in Montreal, Quebec, Canada was renamed Dorchester Square in 1987. The name change was made to honor Guy Carleton, Baron of Dorchester, who the boulevard was originally named after.  

Some of us prefer to call it Dominion Square, it's original name.

A spring day, 28 March in 2013 and 2024

 

Winter is too long here in Montreal. It's almost April and the snow has just melted, some plants are beginning to grow; spring has arrived but it feels like winter is still here. One month less of this would be perfect. Top photos taken in 2013, bottom photos this year on 27 March 2024:

This is the back road to the airport, through Montreal West and parallel to the highway,
it is rue Norman but Norman pronounced as in English

Even as recently as ten or eleven years ago life was different than it is today. Travel was still enjoyable, now many of us wouldn't want to travel even if we could. Here is Montreal's international airport in 2012 and 2013.
