It was actually nice weather for just kicking back in the hotel room and hanging out with no particular need / desire to get out and about - something that we usually do on saturday night when we're in Montreal. The wife had a new business suit objective for the early afternoon which she pursued to a satisfactory conclusion (x 2) while I just took it easy.
In any event, round about 5PM-ish we decided to head our for walk around the neighborhood no matter the weather. As it turned out, just as we were leaving the room the sun was breaking through the clouds and casting some nifty light on the other side of the port as viewed from our room window.
By the time we got out the front door, the light and the air had turned golden and the street and adjoining strip park were bathed and immersed in an seemingly unearthly amber glow. The entire scene and experience put us in a kind of amber-glow state of mind which we managed to hold onto for the rest of a wonderful evening.

All exquisite Mark but #7 hits me right in the gut. The combination of the light inside the building and the light outside the building as seen through the maple tree is stunning. I can just feel the warmth of amber-glow state of mind that you describe.
It ain't exactly Toscany but MTL looks great through your lens.
