Rothman Rock City

Sometime, it’s fun to go over the top in Photoshop. It’s totally not editorial-kosher, but when it’s just for fun, why not?

So I was driving by the Rothman plant in Quebec city, stop at a trafic light. I see the beautiful light and the dramatic sky. I crank down the window, shoot a couple of frames. Here is the result.

Wendake’s Kabir Kouba waterfall

La chute Kabir Kouba en hiverMeasuring 28 metres, Kabir Kouba Falls, whose name means “the river of a thousand meanders”, are on the Saint-Charles River and fall to the rocks of the Canadian Shield directly below. The surrounding canyon is 42 metres deep, and can be viewed from footpaths in the Parc de la Falaise along the river and through the woods. This is an excellent site to observe the rich plant life and to see fossils dating back over 455 million years . Many Huron-Wendat myths and legends are associated with this site.
