Thanks, Richardphotos! It would be bad if they had live rounds - they're positioned on one of the main traffic arteries in downtown Montreal!
Superb capture

An amazing (and loud display). I'm glad that the history and those that served are honored and remembered.
Thank you very much, lwperkins!
You're right - it was very loud - even from several blocks away and from behind large office buildings.
Great shot!
Thanks, IceDragonArt!
Very nice photo!
Thanks, Artienne!
that is awesome. So few remember, or even care anymore. To see a city remember is beyond words. fantastic capture at the right moment.
Thanks, coyoteviper!
It's an annual event here on Nov. 11. This year's event was somewhat more elaborate, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice in 1918. Troops from local regiments, in ceremonial dress, were drawn up on the opposite side of the square. Very impressive, but unfortunately I wasn't in position to photograph them.
Great photo! Must have been an amazing event! It must have been really loud and exciting!
Thanks Axeye!
You are right - it was amazing and also very loud and exciting.

Thanks very much, shadownet!
Thanks very much, UteBigSmile! I appreciate your visit and your kind comments, and wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
Photo impressionnante bien synchronisée; on peut voir la fumée, bien formée, provoquée par le tir du 2e canon, avant d'être dissipée.
Merci beaucoup, marcPoser!
Extraordinary image ... I can imagine how thrilling and solemn that event was.
Thanks very much, 2Loose2Trek!
Great capture!

Great capture and a fitting remembrance to all who served!
Thank you very much, Deane!
Great capture. The howitzer must have sounded really cool. I bet they scared all the pigeons!
Thanks, junge1! They did sound really cool, and I think they scared all the pigeons away from the entire area!
Very poignant reminder of the perils of war and a lovely gesture to those who fell, fighting for our respective freedom. Excellent capture!
Thanks, STEVIEUKWONDER!
