When Vancouverites want to escape the city, they head to the mountains. Montrealers don't have them, so we go to the parks. Clearly, I didn't look at the West Coast trees closely enough, but I was struck at how deep the green is. I guess my choice of mountains vs. trees related to the sanctuary of choice for each city.

The only one I wouldn't entirely agreed with, is Vancouver/Mountains...Montreal/Trees. Yes the mountains are abundant out here, but whenever I have spent time out east and come back....the first thing that strikes me is the trees. The colour and the size. I would say Montreal is more leaves than trees ;) Perhaps this would fall under Vancouver=Green...Montreal=Mauve (or better yet...red, orange, and yellow!)
