Église Saint Irénée

I couldn't resist this shot against a sky that blue. These are the spires of Saint Irénée Parish at Atwater and Delisle in St. Henri. The sidewalks on the other side of the street are tree lined, so I had to sort of time it and step out into the middle of the street while traffic was caught at a red light two blocks away.

Originally built between 1903 and 1908, the church was damaged by a fire in 1911 and rebuilt. The amazing century old churches have always been the focal point of St. Henri and most of the southwest of Montreal for me.
