The Sleeping Giants of Montreal

High on the rooftops of Montreal are several huge hidden graffiti works, the Sleeping Giants.
Created by mysterious artists ELLA & PITR, most people never get to see them except on the artists' own Instagram page, and it's not even clear where some of them are. This video, however, has managed to track down a few of them and allow us a God's eye (drone's eye) view. They located high on the tops of high rise buildings, and may be as large as a city block. Often the giants seem to be crammed in to the available rectangular space or squeezed in to awkward angles. They may be snoring, with arms akimbo, or tangled up with a partner.
There's lots of interesting grafitti and mural art in Montreal, but these are definitely special.
