Another vantage point

Three weeks ago my ship was going through St. Lambert lock. Today, I took advantage of the few remaining days that cyclists can ride around Ile Notre Dame before the F1 train comes into town and then took the path that follows the South Shore Canal to the Estacade and Ile des Seours.

The sun was wonderful after several days of rain, but the clouds of shad flies meant one is well advised to keep their mouths closed.

The bugs continued all along the river out to Lachine so I came back via the Lachine Canal and got to see the Dragon Boat crews practicing.

Even the buildings seemed to be enjoying the seemingly rare sunshine.
