Wonderful place. It is very nice in the summer BUT a Fairyland in the winter. No Ice Hotel?
Xanadu. Thank you very much! The Ice Hotel is in operation as far as I know. However, it has been quite mild this winter. Today the temperature is 32F and yesterday it was 40F with rain. Not exactly ideal conditions for them.

Wonderful set, John! Brings back memories of skiing at Grey Rocks and St. Anne. Any chance of tobaggon shots at the Chateau?
Mike, As always, many thanks. I thought of you while I was down there. The slide is open, but, of course, was closed at that hour. I will make it a point to get back there after the next snowfall and get a shot for you.

A few photos of one of the most beautiful streets in Old Quebec. Photos were taken a few days ago, well before sunrise. All taken with an 18 - 55 mm lens set at 18 mm. ISO was set to 3200 and shutter speeds varied from 1/25 to 1/80 sec. The 5th and 6th images are of Place Royale (a town square). The church is Notre Dame des Victoires, one of the oldest churches in NA. Construction was started in 1687. The last image is of City Hall.

I can hear the quiet! Really beautiful set - would make great Christmas Cards. You must have been wandering around in the wee hours to get these scenes without anyone in them.

Nice set! But, are there no pedestrians there? Or, were you out at o-dark-thirty to get the photos?
I should also say that I would absolutely love to visit there. Recently had a trip all set, but had to cancel. Was really looking forward to it, too. Coincidently, just this morning, I got an email from Quebec City Tourism regarding old town. Still want to go, still on the list! Thanks for sharing!
