Great find. I'd have liked to see interesting portraits of their individual faces..

They're gorgeous !!!... look kinda cold though.. you talk to them first, then I follow second.

I like the photo opportunities there. Like said above, if it were me, I'd shoot the crap out of the sculptures, from the feet on up, portrait style across the street, etc.

Thanks for sharing, those are some cute and tall ladies. ;)

Thanks Guys.
I have some other shots but have to go back with a longer lens and when there is better light, it was kind of flat yesterday.
Will try and post some more a little later in the week.

Gotta love those HARD BODIES!!!

You could say the releases are carved in stone. Had to go through 2 chisels because they needed to be bilingual.

Went back to visit my ladies this morning and got a few close ups.

Nice shots. What is the building BMO ?

[75D]

It is the Southam Building, built in 1916 and is located on Bleury south of Rene Levesque (downtown Montreal).
They have just built a Condo complex next to it and It looks like they may be renovating it. I would love to get inside and see what photo opportunities await.
