Eye Love Montreal

This blog will present Robin Edgar's "vision" for Montreal. The poet Irving Layton once said, "I love Montreal. I love the clash of the two cultures. I love the scenery. I love every blessed centimetre of Montreal." My sentiments. . . almost. This blog will post photographs of Montreal that show it in all its blessed beauty but it will also show photos that expose the ugliness of certain unblessed centimetres of Montreal in the hope of inspiring Montrealers to make them blessed once again. . .

Nicolaus Copernicus With Jupiter & Venus & Uranus Wednesday January 18 2011

Jupiter and Venus hover on either side of the bronze statue of Nicolaus Copernicus aka Mikołaj Kopernik that sits outside the now abandoned Dow Planetarium in downtown Montreal, while Uranus hovers above his outstretched hand. It seems that Copernicus has lost his compass and armillary sphere. . .
