Best viewed large. Vermont's Champlain Valley, Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. I wanted to treat this photo better than I originally did to reflect the spectacle that it actually was in person. I just got CS2, so I did a little ps work on it and it looks much improved over the previous version I think. It was a very dark and cloudy day and I exposed it for the sun's rays that just popped out for a very short time, so I had to brighten the shadows a bit.
The awesome vintage playground in Champlain Street Park in Van Buren, Maine. Sue remembers it being built when she was a little girl. They don't make playgrounds like this anymore.

A replica of Samuel Champlain's astrolabe which is accompanying a voyage of his 1609 exploration from Quebec down through Lake Champlain for the 400th anniversary.
Our customers love our Sorvino home plan, but we wanted to offer a version with some variations on the floor plan. Rather than separate dining and breakfast rooms, the Champlain has a single dining area off the kitchen. And we've added a luxurious screen porch with fireplace accessed from that dining area. Eliminating the second eating area from the home plan allowed us to add a roomy pantry, a powder room, and a dedicated e-space to the utility zone between kitchen and garage. *Photographed home may have been modified from the original construction documents. *https://www.dongardner.com/house-plan/1284/the-champlain/
Samuel de Champlain discovered Canada and founded the city of Quebec

The reinforced concrete construction of the Our Lady of Czestochowa Church is supported by huge posts leaning against the front wall and on pillars connected to the apse. Because of this, it was possible to design great stained-glass compositions measuring forty by fifty feet. This monumental work is considered one of the largest in the United States. Entering the shrine, the history of America unfolds to the right, on the east wall, while on the left, on the west wall, is depicted in beautiful colors the 1000 year history of Poland. Each of the stained-glass windows has seventy-five panels.
The subject of the composition of the stained-glass windows was designed by Father Michael Zembrzuski, architect Jerzy Szeptycki, and their co-workers. The artistic composition was done by Jerzy T. Bialecki from Morristown, New Jersey.
In 1966, Jerzy T. Bialecki began work on the stained-glass window project at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown. His project was accepted by the Willet Studio of Stained Glass Windows in Philadelphia, which produced all the stained-glass windows under the direction of the designer. Mr. Bialecki died in 1987. He is buried in the honor section of the Cemetery of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown.

Continuing the bridge theme while the water is still flowing. Soon it will be frozen like my fingers on the shutter button.
The Samuel De Champlain Bridge, colloquially known as the Champlain Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge design by architect Poul Ove Jensen and built to replace the original Champlain Bridge over the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec between the Island of Montreal and the South Shore suburbs. The new span is located just north of the original Champlain Bridge, which is currently being demolished. The new bridge carries eight lanes of automobile traffic of the A-10, A-15, and A-20, with one lane in each direction dedicated for buses. It also includes a multi-use lane for cyclists and pedestrians. The central portion of the bridge deck, still under construction, will carry the South Shore branch of the forthcoming Réseau express métropolitain (REM) automated light rail system.[5] At 60 metres (200 ft) wide, the new Champlain Bridge is the widest cable-stayed bridge in the world that uses two planes of cables.[6]
It is one of the largest infrastructure projects in North America and is one of the busiest crossings on the continent.[7] It is built to last 125 years with the usage of stainless steel and high-performance concrete,[8] and replaces the previous 57-year-old bridge,[9] which has become functionally obsolete and its structure having been degraded by the repeated application of de-icing salt.
Specifications
The Champlain bridge is a 3.4-kilometre (2.1 mi) crossing. It includes an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a 240-metre (790 ft) main span, a 168-metre-high (551 ft) concrete tower, and stay cables in a harp arrangement. The asymmetrical back span is 124 metres (407 ft). The 2,044-metre (6,706 ft) west approach structure has 26 spans that are typically 80.4 metres (264 ft).The east approach is 780 metres (2,560 ft) long and includes a 109-metre (358 ft) span over Route 132.[6]
The bridge was built as part of a larger $4 billion project that included:
•The Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge[10]
•A new Autoroute 10 (A-10) approach
•A new 470-metre (1,540 ft) île-des-Sœurs bridge and a highway on île-des-Soeurs
•Improvements to nearby parts of the A-15
The design of the Champlain Bridge addressed seismic activity, soil liquefaction, light-rail transit loading, ship collision, and ice loading. The bridge is configured with three separate decks, one for each direction of vehicular traffic and a third in the center for the Réseau express métropolitain rail corridor. The northbound deck is wider to include a multi-use corridor for cyclists and pedestrians, requiring the cable-stay bridge to be asymmetric in the transverse direction as well as longitudinal. The main tower is shaped like a tuning fork and is supported by twenty-one 1.2-metre (3.9 ft) drilled piles. The decks are supported in the approach spans by W-shaped piers.[6]
Construction history
In September 2007, faced with rising costs for the maintenance of the Champlain Bridge (commissioned in 1962), then Canadian Minister of Transport Lawrence Cannon confirmed that his department was seriously considering the construction of a replacement structure. In August 2008, Transport Canada announced that it was exploring different scenarios for a new bridge. In October 2011, then Minister of Transport Denis Lebel officially announced that construction on the new bridge would begin within 10 years.
In November 2014, then Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt announced that she was abandoning the idea of naming the new bridge in honor of Maurice Richard after consulting the family of the former ice hockey champion. Prior to the 2015 Canadian federal election, the 28th Canadian Ministry planned on imposing a $2-$4 toll on the new bridge, however, this plan was abandoned following the election of the 29th Canadian Ministry.
In April 2015, the federal government selected the JV consortium: Signature on the St. Lawrence Group to build the new bridge. The consortium mainly includes: SNC-Lavalin, ACS Infrastructure, and Dragados Canada. T.Y. Lin International is serving as the Lead Designer.[11]
Construction on the new bridge officially began on June 16, 2015. On December 19, 2018, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities François-Philippe Champagne announced that the official name of the new bridge will be the Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge.[12] The bridge opened to northbound/westbound traffic on June 24, 2019 (St-Jean-Baptiste Day), with the official opening ceremony being held on June 28, 2019, and southbound/eastbound traffic opening on 1 July 2019 (Canada Day). The multi-purpose runway was opened in November 2019, while the REM train tracks are expected to be opened in 2023.
Construction method
View from the westbound roadway
In order to meet the 42-month construction deadline, many steel and concrete bridge elements were prefabricated, with a portion of the work taking place on temporary piers. Three jetties were built: one on the east from Brossard, one on the west from Nuns' Island, and one from the center, adjacent to a dike along the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
•The pier through the canal, allowed, by means of cofferdams, the storage of piles of construction material.
•The central jetty served as a construction platform for the piers and towers of the section of the bridge utilizing guy-wires. Temporary pillars used during the construction of the Millau Viaduct in France were erected to support the cable-stayed span during construction. The main cable-stayed span above the seaway was assembled in segments by means of a crane.
•The 500 metre (yard) long west pier was divided into three pre-assembly areas: a first for the concrete foundation footings that serve as the base for the viaduct section crossing the river, a second for the steel headers that complete the piles, and a third for the steel superstructures that wear the aprons. During the prefabrication of the 38 marine insoles, a pile primer and working platform were added to form a pile base measuring up to 14 metres (46 ft) high. A super-transporter moved these stack bases from the prefabrication area to a loading area from where they were lifted by an industrial catamaran. The catamaran then deposited these bases in spaces drilled to a depth of 4 to 5 metres (13 to 16 ft) into the riverbed. Two floating cranes finally overlaid the bases of the prefabricated elements to form piles and headers. The steel box girders supporting the three decks of the bridge were then deposited on the trimmers as they were completed.

Champlain staff and faculty help prepare the Discovery Garden for planting at the Ethan Allen Homestead on Wed. May 7 as part of the College's Community Service Day to honor retiring President David Finney.
The “Father of New France”, Champlain was at the heart of the French venture in North America form 1603 to 1635. Under the leadership of Pierre Dugua de Mons, he helped colonize Acadia and, in 1608, founded the settlement at Quebec that became the centre of the colony. He formed important alliances with Aboriginal peoples and expanded the French sphere of influence, travelling up the Ottawa River and as far west as the Great Lakes. Champlain explored and mapped large areas for the continent, and in his travel journal left an invaluable record of his era for future generations.

Annual recognition dinner at Champlain College. WIth Special recognition for President David Finney.
Jacques Cartier might have discovered the Saint-Laurent river and the site of present day Québec City, but failed to successfully establish a permanent settlement.
Champlain came back to the location in 1608 and built fortifications that became the first real buildings of the city. They were at the location of this statue, in the Place d'Armes, next to the Château Frontenac. In fact, when I was there, part of the Promenade Dufferin was fensed off while archeological searches are conducted.
When the colony became a royal property in 1632, Champlain was made the first governor. He also made many explorations in the northeastern part of the american continent, including navigating up the Ottawa River and down the Richelieu River and Champlain Lake.
Québec will celebrate its 400th anniversary in 2008. To my knowledge this makes it the oldest North American occidental city that still subsists today. The title was recently contested by St-Johns, New-Foundland, but I don't think there was a clear winner. If you have informations on this I'd like to hear it!
