entry description
During winter season 2015, we had heavy snow in Montreal, with rain and very cold weather. This exceptionnal situation created heavy layers of snow mixed with ice and dirt to stick to the slanted glass roof windows at the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal. Those shots were taken from inside the Museum. It created a strange landscape.about the photographer
