Sylvain Robitaille: Photo Scrapbook

This page is a collection of some of my favorite photos which I have taken throughout my travels, some of which I am rather proud of, and a few other, interesting photos. All the photos on this page are copyright © 1986, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, or 1995.

I call this one Montreal in Winter.

My previous job had me spending a good deal of time on railroad bridges. Here I was taking a break over the Mighty Muddy Mississippi. I have since cut cigarettes from my diet.

My first car (circa 1986): a "colorado green" 1978 Honda Civic. 1280cc, 4 speed manual. I had replaced the dashboard with one from a 1500 CVCC, because that one had a tachometer. This car died of cancer.

My second car (circa 1991):
Also my first new car, and still my current car. A 2.2 litre 1991 Plymouth Sundance, 5 speed manual. I have since added the sunroof from the civic. I do all the maintenance, and any repairs that I can, myself, and I'm happy to report that this car is still in very good condition, and runs very reliably.	.
At the time this picture was taken, the odometer read 17.1 km! The lovely lady in my arms is my grandma.

I try and take scenescapes a lot. I'm particularly fond of this one, taken from the top of Sulphur Mountain, in Banff, Alberta.

A couple of mountain goats lazing around on Sulphur Mountain.

Walking down from Sulphur Mountain, we came across some elk grazing along the side of the road. I had to do the touristy thing and take a picture.
It's pretty amazing how close you can actually get to the wildlife in Banff without upsetting them.

You can't truly appreciate the size of Canada and everything it has to offer unless you've driven across the country. I have done so numerous times.

While we were travelling around, we often had to stop along the highway while construction crews did their work. This was taken in BC on tour with The Watchmen.

I got caught starting a fire!

The Smoky River near Grande Cache Alberta. A view from the top of a cliff.

Here is another scenic shot taken in western Canada.

The Little Hell Gate Bridge in New York City
The arch is the main span of this massive railroad bridge. The entire bridge is some 4 miles long. Running alongside the Triborough Bridge, it joins The Bronx and Queens.

I always thought that Toronto's city hall makes a nice picture. This isn't quite a postcard, but it is my own.

The CN tower, in Toronto, Ontario.

Rainy River, Ontario

This old caboose just sits in a field, apparently abandoned.

I spotted this old plow, and just had to take a picture.
