Three Gold Coins
We camped for a night just a few kilometers from this spot, knew there was the possibility of stormy weather, and caught this scene before it arrived. An hour later, with darkness falling, we watched a very large cell moving slowly along the North shore of the St Lawrence from where we stood. The next day we learned that it had a downdraft in excess of 100 km/hr and there was considerable damage where it had passed.
The outskirts of Trois Pistoles, where this picture was taken, was named after a silver goblet supposedly worth three gold coins. The area has a fascinating history - it's hosted the University of Western Ontario's French immersion program since 1932, and Basque whalers used an island just offshore in the 16th century.
