Quebec City

Digital original
The last time I was in Quebec City was in the summer of 2004, when I drove Bobbi and Miranda to Montreal; this visit was made on my way to Ottawa. I arrived late in the day, and after a lovely dinner with a friend, I spent an hour or so with her, walking around the old city and photographing.

There is a real magic to snow-covered cities around the holidays - the colourful decorations mix with the snow white surroundings to make very different images for the more dramatic night images that are made during the warmer parts of the year.

The three skaters that were enjoying themselves as I made this image were lost to the 30 second exposure it took to record the scene.

  1. What a beautiful city. Well kept and clean. We watched a crew of city workers cleaning a statue and filling in faded writing on a monument. Pain staking it must have been for them. The scenery very beautiful and breathtaking. Seeing a huge ship in the port was cool. The history of the city was interesting.
