Quebec City: view from the rampart above St. John's Gate toward Chateau Frontenac.

Chateau Frontenac, from the Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens. (The Coquille Neptune and Bouilli québécois de boeuf are highly recommended.) Does the slight fuzziness give it an air of mystery, or is that just my excuse for a jittery shot from a cell phone?

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and Umbrella Alley viewed along Rue du Cul de Sac at Rue Notre Dame.

Protecting the marina (or blocking the view) is the customary cement factory. In Quebec City, it's sometimes used as a screen for open air cinema. I fear the movies will be warped.
