20th September. Old Montreal, New France.

Nothing better to do than lie on the grass and stare up at the sky...
Quickly succumbing to the effects of jet lag.

Mind you this is a different piece of sky to look up at here, just where a stream of countless immigrants disembarked down the gang plank and gave thanks to the Lord for deliverance to their very own promised land...

Yes, after the extinction of the European Beaver the discovery of more Beavers to trap in Canada was timely. So they did a roaring trade until, despite the vastness of the hinterland, supplies of Beavers started to dwindle, once again.

Today there is little evidence of anything commercial concerning Beavers. Quite what everyone does for a living nowadays in Montreal, remains something of a mystery, but I suspect mainly mouse clicking...
