One of the places we went was Sarapiqui - Salamanca area (highlands of Costa Rica, 7,00+ feet). Needless to say it was much cooler. It was to me the prettiest place we went and we were treated to an amazing sunset. I liked my little cabin so much I included a couple iPhone photos. The flowers were also very nice there and I had a huge vase of Cala Lillies. They grew like weeds around the property.
Saved the best for last!

To those who have never been there, Old Quebec is a magical, unique place. There are areas where you feel like you are visiting classic Paris. It is certainly a beautiful, charming city that should be on everyone's bucket list.
Can't argue with your sentiments, debugger!
The Quebec City Tourism Department has asked me to pass on its appreciation(lol).

Interesting shot, John! I see some familiar looking stuff on those old shelves. It has character.

Our first sunny day in a long time led me to take the dog out to the lake.

Very nice, Mike! I was going to say that the first two images are my favorites, as I am not generally a fan of panos, and I like the compositions, but when I downloaded the third photo it actually kind of grew on me. There is this dichotomy - two layers to the image, the first being this dense manmade housing complex in the foreground followed by a rugged range of mountains. Quite the contrast.

Nice shots of a beautiful city. The atmospheric conditions lead to different photos than we normally see. Thanks!

Thank you kindly, Bill! My pleasure. Yes, the combination of semi-darkness and fog do give the images a different look.
If I am photographing here in the city, I often go out at night or early morning, an hour before sunrise. At night there is little traffic, so I can wander the streets unperturbed, while the abundance of lights allow me to shoot without a tripod. During the hour before sunrise the light changes quite rapidly, so I can get different looking images within a couple of minutes.

Beautiful set John. The fog actually adds to the mood. I can feel the cold!
Many thanks, Mark! Yes, you are right, it does. I was out there in my shirt sleeves (lol). Seriously, it was 32F out there and very icy. We are having a very strange winter; unusually warm for this time of year. It is 41F out there right now where the normal high is about 20F.

Great shots for handheld at those shutter speeds! VR sure does help.
Magnificent light and colors.

Many thanks for your kind comments, lnl! Yes, without VR I would definitely have needed a tripod or bumped up the ISO/opened up the lens even further.
