At 165 metres, the Montréal Tower is the [img]tallest inclined tower in the world![/img] Its 45-degree angle is awe-inspiring, especially when you consider that the Leaning Tower of Pisa’s tilt is only 5 degrees!

From its summit, visitors can admire the entire Greater Montreal region and up to 80 kilometres of the St. Lawrence River valley. A breathtaking panorama, it has been awarded a three-star rating—the highest available—by the renowned Michelin Guide!

Visitors can reach the top of the Montréal Tower on a mesmerizing climb in a glass-encased funicular that holds up to 76 passengers.

The funicular is the only one in the world that operates on a curved structure. It has a hydraulic system that allows the cabin to remain horizontal during the two-minute ride to the top.

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

Wow, is this for real Marcel! What an amazing structure! I like your composition coming in diagonally from the corner it works well. The mono presentation and the way the top of the building starts to blend into mist also works very well. The cables, I assume, are supporting a roof of some sort? Part of me wishes I could see a bit more of this part of the image to confirm that but as it is it adds an intriguing element but the main structure is so incredible that it is right to place all the emphasis upon this part of the image, I'm pretty sure this would have been my approach too. It could be argued that there is a lack of contrast but again I think the structure is powerful that this low contrast approach works to good effect.

Thank you for your incredible entry Marcel, very fitting for the challenge.

Wow I freaked slightly when I saw this! Montreal! When I was there last year I took a very similar photo even with the mist on the top and nearly entered it in a challenge, this reminds me a lot of this photo.
