I recently hosted my final photography workshop for this season. And, once again, I took my class to Mount Royal Park. This time my class consisted of two students of which one got sick the day before the work shop and had to back out. My main student was a guy named Hannes, who was from Germany and had only been in Montreal about two months.
Weather wise we had a great day: the sky may have been overcast at the beginning but the sun came out later completely making up for the flatness of the sky. In our tour of Mount Royal we headed up to the Chalet at the top of the mountain and shot a few pictures of the fantastic view and then ventured down a path, up til now, I have never taken before, but was so glad that I did!
We explored this, at first, steep trail that led deeper into the trees of the mountain, then took a left on another path that opened up to a scene that, I can only say, transferred me to a whole other place. Looking at the scene i could not believe that I was still in Montreal.
It was like something out of a Louisiana Bayou.
It was such a beautiful place that it very literally took my breath away. We hung around here for a little while, shooting like mad scientists on the verge of a great discovery with every new shot. But, all too soon, we had to leave this place as our time together was coming to a close.
But, the day was not through with us, yet. It had another surprise in store for us.
Til next time...
