Day 318 - Honouring the Loggers

I seem to be posting late these days. Life is busy with marking, report cards, portfolios and the day to day stuff. The week ahead promises to be even busier. I'm posting tonight so I can at least start the week off on the right foot. The good news is that after this week things should slow down slightly and I'll have more time to contemplate my photos and write my entries.
Managed a little fresh air and took a walk in Old Quebec again. This statue was tucked in between two buildings and caught my eye as I walked by. Due to parked cars I wasn't able to get all the logs in the photo. This statue was placed here in honour of the logger. To be honest we didn't have a long time to stop and read so I don't know much more about it. I guess I'll have to go back. The great part of living in Quebec City is that you can be a tourist year round.

Day 310 - City Hall

Went for a walk in Old Quebec. It was surprisingly crowded for this time of year. We walked around for awhile and snapped a few pictures. I decided to take out the wide angle lens and give it a try. I got this picture of City Hall. I still find it amazing how much the lens can take in at such a short distance. It's not the best pic as there's some distortion on the sides and it's not level. Oh well, a few more things to work on. Luckily, I really enjoy the practice.

Day 219 - Modern Day Tin Man

While walking around Old Quebec we saw a number of street performers. I was able to capture this silver performer in a statue position. He had music and a little sign that says "Money makes me move". Unfortunately, we didn't get to see him perform for long but it was much easier taking his picture when he was still. We also saw his fellow 'goldman' but he was packing up as we came around the corner. Oh well, maybe next time. I like the contrast of silver against the green trees. Peg says she gets itchy just looking at him with all that face makeup on.
