The Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, commonly referred to as the Château Frontenac, is a historic hotel in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The hotel is situated in Old Quebec, within the historic district's Upper Town, on the southern side of Place d'Armes. The Château Frontenac was designed by Bruce Price, and was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company. The hotel is managed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.
Opened in 1893, the Châteauesque-styled building has 18 floors; its 79.9-metre (262-foot) height is augmented by its 54-metre (177-foot) ground elevation. It is one of the first completed grand railway hotels, and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981. The hotel was expanded on three occasions, with the last major expansion taking place in 1993.
Quebec City was built on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence River, where it narrows and meets the mouth of the Saint-Charles River. Old Quebec is located on top and at the foot of Cap-Diamant, which is on the eastern edge of a plateau called the promontory of Quebec (Quebec hill). Because of this topographic feature, the oldest and most urbanized borough of La Cité-Limoilou can be divided into upper and lower town. North of the hill, the Saint Lawrence Lowlands is flat and has rich, arable soil. Past this valley, the Laurentian Mountains lie to the north of the city but its foothills are within the municipal limits.
From past research, I *think* this is the Ivan D. Wainscott House. His father, Daniel Boone Wainscott owned the property in 1915, and by 1932, it was Ivan's. The house probably dates from the latter time.
The land ( and much more surrounding it) is now owned by Wainscott Brothers, though it might just be one brother now - Richard, the son of Ivan. It's rare to see a homestead still in the family after three generations.
I've been photographing this house for about a decade, but I don't think I've shot it from this angle, so it took me way too long to recognize it after I developed the shot.

HBM!
I’ve been living out of sanity
I’ve been splitting hairs and blurring lines
I am a house that is divided
In my heart and in my mind
As the water gently streamed over its next hurdle, it then divided, flowing in two distinct directions.
🇫🇷 Le jacanas roux ,
la tête, le cou, la partie supérieure de la poitrine et le haut du manteau forment un ensemble noir.
Le reste du corps , varie du rougeâtre au châtain-bordeaux.
Les rémiges jaunâtres sont nuancées de vert ou de chartreuse et bordées de brun
Le bec est jaune avec une tache bleu très clair à la base des mandibules.
On peut apercevoir sur le front une plaque charnue jaune divisée en trois lobes.
Les femelles sont semblables aux mâles mais elles sont légèrement plus grandes (de 10% pour toutes les mesures).
Ils fréquentent les zones humides permanentes ou saisonnières pourvues d'eaux peu profondes.
Ils marquent habituellement une nette préférence pour les sites qui possèdent une grande variabilité de plantes aquatiques.
D’autres membres de la famille des jacanidés sont très attachés aux monocultures de nénuphars et de jacinthes d'eau.
Ces oiseaux vivent jusqu'à 1 500 mètres au Costa Rica

A Yellow-jumped Warbler ( Audubon's) is thinking about a second dip after already enjoying one.
Did you know that the Yellow-rumped Warbler is divided into four forms?
The one shown is a Audubon's Warbler and breeds in western North America. Males sport a yellow throat and gray head and chest.
The Myrtle form breeds in eastern and norther north America. The male's white throat distinguishes it from the three other forms, along with other differences.
The Black-fronted warblers look like the Audubon's warblers but males have a dark face and breast. They live in Mexico and are nonmigratory.
The fourth but not least, the Goldman's Warbler males have a yellow throat bordered in white, and are nearly black on the head and ches. They live in Guatemala and are nonmigratory.
This Laurentian Divide Overlook is located on the Gunflint Trail, a road that runs for 67 miles through the Superior National Forest out of Grand Marais, Minnesota, heading north and then west to Saganaga Lake.
The divide separates the Hudson Bay and the St. Lawrence watersheds. Water from here flows either north via several rivers to Hudson Bay or east to Lake Superior and the St. Lawrence Seaway. There are several markers on the highways, trails and roads in this part of Minnesota marking where the Laurentian Divide runs.
To the west of here in the middle of the Hill Annex mine in Hibbing, Minnesota there is a triple divide, one of only about five that occur in the United States. Water from the triple divide flows north to Hudson Bay, east to the St. Lawrence Seaway and south via the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. The Native Americans called it the "Hill of Three Waters" and held it as a sacred place.
In remembrance for those that fought for their ideals and for the rest of us. The somber blue/gray morning here seemed quite fitting.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the outback of Australia. There is no other way to see the red center of Australia other than with a sunrise or sunset helicopter flight. The flat landscape casts shadows kilometers long with Uluru and Kata Tjuta glowing red for the briefest of moments, truly remarkable.
