Isn't it beautiful? I wish Montreal was more of an art city. That, is, I wish provincial + municipal government's had balls + supported artists rather than art bureaucrats.

Lovely. I looks to me like the temple to Amun at Karnak, with its heavy pillars in lines just like this, only here there is light and slim columns that make the site a thing of beauty rather than an imposing reminder of a lost civilization.
