This is a time-lapse video of a car trip I made around the eastern half of Île de Montréal in December of 2009.
The music track is “Comme des Enfants” by Cœur de Pirate from her 2008 self-titled debut album. It and her recently released sophomore album “Blonde” are available on iTunes.
This video was shot with Canon 5D mark II using a 28mm f/1.8 lens and a MacGyvered/ghetto rig that involved my Induro tripod, Manfrotto head and using my laptop bag as a mounting weight. Here’s a picture of the setup:

D – Gouin Est & 28e Av features a float-plane parking lot on the north side
F – Is the Rue Bureau Cul-de-Sac at the eastern tip of Montreal
J – Caserne Letourneux – a beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright-style building at the corner of Notre-Dame and Letourneux
K & L – Passing under the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and heading into the Ville-Marie Expressway Tunnel

This will be the first of two posts today. I’m sending this to test something and welcome the lovely weather here in Toronto.
This in a continuation of my fascination with Texas overpasses which began with “Crossing Over” – Overpasses near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, which I posted last August.
Not sure how the tiger applies to moving, or why it appears they only decided to clean that part of the truck.
This panorama is my first ever iphone panorama and it was made with the PanoLab app by Originate.
