A cosy couple looking out over the Eardley Escarpment at the Champlain Lookout in Gatineau Park, Gatinea, Quebec, Canada.
This past June, part of the lookout's wall, built in the late 1950s, collapsed due to decades of freezing and thawing.
Reconstructive work is scheduled to begin this fall.

Lake Champlain (French: Lac Champlain) is a natural freshwater lake in North America, located mainly within the borders of the United States (states of Vermont and New York) but partially situated across the Canada-United States border in the Canadian province of Quebec.
The New York portion of the Champlain Valley includes the eastern portions of Clinton County and Essex County. Most of this area is part of the Adirondack Park. There are recreational opportunities in the park and along the relatively undeveloped coastline of Lake Champlain. The cities of Plattsburgh, New York and Burlington, Vermont are to the north of the lake, and the village of Ticonderoga, New York is located in the southern part of the region. The Quebec portion is located in the regional county municipalities of Le Haut-Richelieu and Brome-Missisquoi.

The statue of Champlain is located at Nepean Point, in Ottawa, behind the National Gallery of Canada.
Samuel de Champlain (1567–1635) was an explorer, geographer and map-maker, who founded Québec City in 1608. In 1613, he explored the Ottawa River.
This statue commemorates the 300th anniversary of Champlain’s second voyage on the Ottawa River. It was erected at the same spot where Champlain made his solar observation during his expedition in 1615.
Champlain certainly knew how to use an astrolabe — an old navigational instrument — but the sculptor did not. Champlain is depicted holding it upside down!
The statue was created in 1915 by Hamilton MacCarthy.

Another photo from Amanda & Younes' wedding... the colours were great at sunset and using my Canon 24mm f/1.4L with a high-speed synch flash combo worked wonders.
Strobist info: two Canon flashes (580exII & 430exII) fired through a 28" Westcott Apollo softbox. Triggered with Pocket wizard flexTT5's in High Speed Sync mode.

S’attabler au Lapin Sauté, c’est retrouver le côté rustique, champêtre et douillet des vieilles auberges du début du siècle. On prend plaisir à se retrouver dans l’atmosphère intime et chaleureuse de ce petit resto de 32 places où l’on cultive en grand l’art de recevoir. L’été, sa terrasse de 52 places est un incontournable pour prendre le soleil dans un cadre de verdure. L’hiver, c’est au coin du feu qu’on se réchauffe le coeur en dégustant les trouvailles d’un terroir bien de chez-nous.
Dining at the Lapin Sauté is akin to walking into a warm, quaint and cozy inns from the early 20th century. There is nothing better than sitting in the comfort of this small, friendly 32-seat restaurant where you're always welcomed with open arms. During the summer, the Lapin expands to 52 seats with its outdoor terrace and patrons flock here under the warm sun. In the winter, a fire warms your heart and soul as you discover local country products made and served like nowhere else.
This was taken during a Ferry Ride going from the Champlain Islands of Vermont to the New York side. At its northern boundary is the Province of Quebec.
Explored Delta Park in Colchester, VT where the Winooski meets Lake Champlain with the kids last night and enjoyed a lovely sunset.

First night in Vermont, there was a terrific sunset which we watched from the shore of Lake Champlain.
Jo and I went for a walk along the beach in Champlain Park (Lake Nipissing). And while I set up for some sunset HDR they stepped into my field-of-view and I took the oportunity to snap this photo in silhouette.

The Great Champlain Lake is a result of the glaciers. It lies between New York State and Vermont and the valley runs south for many miles with the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondack Mountains to the west. This is looking northeast
Ottawa - November 2013
Nepean Point is a hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, overlooking the Ottawa River, Parliament, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and other features of downtown Ottawa and Gatineau.
At the peak of the hill is a statue of French explorer Samuel de Champlain holding his famous astrolabe upsidedown. It was made by sculptor Hamilton MacCarthy in 1915.
Champlain was the first European to explore and describe the Great Lakes, and published maps of his journeys and accounts of what he learned from the natives and the French living among the Natives. He formed relationships with local Montagnais and Innu and later with others farther west (Ottawa River, Lake Nipissing, or Georgian Bay), with Algonquin and with Huron Wendat, and agreed to provide assistance in their wars against the Iroquois.

Trip Day Two: Tuesday, July 14th
I slept horribly in the camper. I felt really nauseous when we got into the super squishy bed and it wouldn't go away (must have been all the cookies). I got up twice afraid I was gonna lose it before giving up and moving to the front (back?) of the camper where the couch was. I lay down with a blanket and instantly fell asleep there, just waking up every 2 hours whenever Pete moved in the bed on the other end because the whole camper moved. I think there wasn't enough air where the bed was and the chemical smell from the toilet was making me sick!
Anyway! We got up early and got our complimentary coffee in front of the office before hitting the road. We drove up to Port Kent because Pete thought it would be fun to take a ferry across Lake Champlain to Vermont, and since he's from Kent in England, he picked this one. I was very very nervous because I get very very seasick and it seems to get worse as I get older. I felt seasick on a small riverboat a few months ago. A river!
We parked in the line and had 45 minutes to roam around in the drizzling rain and fog and cold air to take photos and let Tyson stretch his doggie legs. Once on the ferry, I decided to just stay in the car since we were parked in the center (it was a pretty small boat, too) and just try not to move my head too fast. I made it and amused myself with the GPS showing us over water.
We arrived in Burlington, VT and walked around there for a bit to find a place for food where we could sit outside with our dog. It was soooo touristy and typical college town and the sandwich shop I stopped in wanted $7.50 for a sandwich so we left, figuring we'd get food at a small place away from the tourists. We drove northeasterly and enjoyed the beautiful Vermont countryside, hoping to see moose like all the signs promised. And then voila! There were two right there!! No males, unfortunately, but I think a mama and her baby (I say that only because a male with antlers would be most impressive). I had Pete turn the car around and they stayed there and posed for me as I took a bunch of not-so-good shots. We were totally excited!! :-)
On we went, stopping at some roadside pizza/burger joint on the way where I ate a really bad burger while looking at some cows. We ended up camping in Island Pond, VT for the night at a private campground. Our site overlooked their lake. We set up and relaxed. And then it rained. And rained. It poured all night long so we both slept badly and poor Tyson was miserable. We kept expecting to get wet! In the morning the rain stopped and some large bird of prey forced us out of the tent by circling the lake making a huge racket with the most annoying sound in the universe, stirring up all the crows in his wake. Ugh. It was time to pack up the wet stuff and get to Maine.
