The Lookout
Just about 2km from my home is a lookout and garden maintained by the town of Deux-Montagnes. There is a path that goes down to the lookout, which has several levels, and stairs & a bench at the bottom as well for those that want to sit right on the small beach. But it is the view out over the Lake of Two Mountains and over to Laval-Ouest that attracts most tourists.
Several benches and picnic tables are found among the trees.
Located just across from the Public Library it is a popular spot for people to have lunch summertime.

Ah, a classic bench shot and well executed. Nice job Joanne. You did some post treatment, but I can’t recognize what it is. Fill me in. I like the effect.
Joanne Bradley replied
Well aside from sharpening a little, and adjusting slightly contrast and brightness, it’s pretty much out of camera Steve, sorry!
Steve Buffington
Well, thanks. It looks to “painterly” (new word). Again, great capture.
