Our Lady of the Harbour’s Blessing — Montréal

This image of a statue of the Vir­gin Mary was taken in Old Mon­treal behind the Bon­sec­ours Church as it faces the St. Lawrence river. Mon­treal poet/singer Leonard Cohen refers to this statue in his song Suzanne as ‘our lady of the har­bour’. Cam­era move­ment allowed me to cap­ture her as she blesses the sailors she watches over.
