From one windmill to another

I was planning to use a christmas photo for my last website update of the year 2009, but I opted for this windmill from Isle-aux-Coudres.

Why? I remembered that I first used the windmills of Kinderdijk, in the Netherlands, when I inaugurated this blog in January. Now, I'm going full circle and en the year as I started it.

Discover my new photos of the beautiful region of Charlevoix, mostly of Baie-St-Paul and Isle-aux-Coudres, in the album called Charlevoix, under Canada.

Well, I'm leaving you with a christmas themed photo, wishing you all happy holidays and merry Christmas! I will be back with new material on January 11th, but stay tuned for a compilation of my best images of the year 2009 around December 31st.

Merry Christmas!

Limoilou Trilogy part 3: Industrial Limoilou

At last, here is the final chapter of the Limoilou Trilogy, showing the least appealing industrial side of the district. You will find the new album called Industrial Limoilou under the Quebec City tab, along with the previous albums Urban Limoilou and Green Limoilou.

Next week, I will come back with nicer images of the region of Charlevoix, which will be my last update of 2009.

See you next week!

Limoilou Trilogy part 2: Green Limoilou

After showing the urban side of Limoilou last week, here comes the second installment of the Limoilou trilogy, this time focusing on the parks of the district. You will find the new album Green Limoilou under the tab Quebec City.

The images you will see were captured at different times of the year, showing the park Cartier-Brébeuf, the Maizerets Domain and the Parc linéaire des rivières St-Charles-et-du-Berger.

Come back next week for the apocalyptical grand finale of the cycle, with the album Industrial Limoilou.

Have a good week!

Limoilou Trilogy part 1: Urban Limoilou

Limoilou is another district that is, in my humble opinion, visually underrepresented in the touristic promotion of Quebec City. Usually, we only show the Cartier-Brébeuf park in autumn, but we ignore the urban elements.

Yet, with its typical three-storey houses, their nice staircases and the New York City inspired street pattern, Limoilou doesn't lack of charm and offers a unique proposition in Quebec City.

So to correct the situation, I'm starting this week my trilogy about Limoilou with urban images of the district in the album Urban Limoilou, available under the tab Quebec City.

During the following weeks, I will continue with Green Limoilou, an exploration of the green spaces such as the Cartier-Brébeuf park, the Maizerets domain and the linear park of the River St-Charles.

Then, I will conclude with Industrial Limoilou, a venture through the harshest places for the human eyes, but not for the camera eye!

Have a good week!
