- Go to Maritime Impressions...Part VI (Final)
I thought I had read all of these and seen the pics, but here I find that I missed this one. It is surely true what you say about the cameras and, as usual, I really enjoy your photos.

Thanks all...
And to Auslander in particular: touche! However, in my defence I can only say that La Grande Allee is actually pretty vieux; even if it's on this side of the Porte Saint-Louis; that the sex of things like a funiculaire or even a croissant is hard to determine by just looking at them - they just seem kind of nice, and since for me 'nice' goes with the female side of things...
That also goes for the two churches, one of which isn't. Of course, since the Stairway to Heaven isn't that either, it matters little that one of the two churches is in fact a post office. They both look after things being sent away, kind of.
And I actually know the names of the bridges (although we won't go into here why the pont Pierre-Laporte is called what it is) and the name of the Boulevard Champlain, but since I wasn't actually giving anyone travel directions I didn't think it was necessary to spell all that out...
And now: happy breathing...

Say, naut., you like to be "precise" about MY stuff, hé?, So, look out:
Grande Allée is NOT part of Vieux Québec: it's outside Porte Saint-Louis. For Heaven's sake, man!
The 2 "churches" that we can see up the stairs (the stairs themselves are called Escalier Casse-cou) are NOT 2 churches: one is the post office! NA!NA!NA!
And the street that passes underneath the bridges (pont Pierre-Laporte et pont de Québec) is called Boulevard Champlain.
Previous entry: LE funiculaire not LA! UN croissant Délicieux, not délicieuse! NA!NA!NA!
Now I can breath easier! LOL LOL LOL Tschüs!

Bon, I am here, again, I've looked at some more photos of Québec (I had looked at the pervious entry but didn't left a comment. I suppose I was speachless in front of such beauty!) and yes, they are beautiful. But, then, with a great subject as Québec, how could it be any different? Not that the photograph isn't good or anything.....LOL And I love the fact that people can see for themselves that Québec is NOT always cold with snow 5 meters high! Good job, nautikos. Tschüs.

Very nice, Naut - had you thought about doing a book or publishing these on a web site? Just wondered.
