Lowertown

Large view preferred. Imagine yourself in 17th century Quebec City as a

French settler establishing a new life along the St. Lawrence River. Whiile

tourism may have replaced the commerce of yesteryear, the city abounds

with historic charm. Place yourself among its streets. Your comments are

most appreciated. Larry

Beautiful!!

Alberto,  Thanks for your visit and comment.  

I imagine there are quiet little back streets where you can lose yourself and imagine the scenes of yesteryear as you described, not so easy to get a shot of them though, well not without cars or people that just don't fit in (As I found out on a recent trip to the old Cornish village of St Ives) .  This shot gives a nice overview though and allows a glimpse of the lovely architecture! 

Best Regards

Alf,  Thanks for you comment and visit.  Quebec City has a Lowertown (this image) and an upper part of its historic district.  I had the advantage of capturing this from the upper level of the city where I could focus on the buildings without cars and other distractions.  I really like your pirate ship image.     Larry

I love your series on Quebec City!  It's one place I'm dying to visit!  Just wondering if your rooftop shots were taken from a hotel or a public place.  You've captured some great views from above.

Christal,  

Thanks for viewing and commenting on this image.  Historic Quebec City has both a lower town (on the level of the St. Lawrence River) that includes its oldest settlements and an "upper level" at the top of a cliff that abuts lower town.  One gets to the upper level on a funicular or by walking.   The upper level is still the "old town," but not as old as lower town.  I took this image from the upper boardwalk looking down on lower town.   I appreciate your interest.  Larry
