2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Red Candles in Church Interior


We did go into one church, where I got some pretty good interiors.  Above we have the traditional candle stand often seen in Catholicism.  Other church candle pics posted here.

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Herbaceous Cannon Fodder

Canada is known for its progressive liberalism, so wasn't surprised to see this.  In fact it's a great message, and reminded me of the time a hippie stuck a flower in the barrel of a trooper's rifle during the 60's anti-war movement.  Also makes for a unique photo-op...

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Black Squirrel

Squirrels are squirrels, I suppose, and they're everywhere wherever in the world you go.  But it's interesting how they are different colors in different regions.  In Texas they're gray, in Taiwan they're red and black, and here in Canada they're either red or black.  Had to sneak around before catching this lucky silhouette; closeup below:

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Architecture Bookmarks


Saw a couple of opportunities for bookmarks as we were walking along.  Had to do some quick grabs, as the guide and Chenjean would be a block ahead if I dallied to perfect a composition.

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Cat in Window

Cats in windows make great shots.  I posted another one a while back from somewhere, but had no luck in finding it among the thousands of pics published.  Maybe when the index I'm working on is finished...

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Alleyway Labyrinth

We were led by the guide through a unique alleyway that is supposedly old as the ages.  I snapped away because of the patterns and angles, in wonder that people actually live here and daily get to walk through this labyrinth of history.

2025 NE Cruise - Québec City, Little Man Artwork

Most of the remainder of posts here will be taken on a guided tour.  We hired this company to meet us at a hotel, and of the six signed up to go with the group we were the only ones that showed up.  Thus, we were able to get a very personalized experience, and the very nice guide catered to exactly what we wanted to see (unique, weird, strange, not too many churches).

Using our list, the first thing he showed us was right across the street from the hotel where we met.  The yellow sign was one of many posted around the city, announcing an artwork that could be observed nearby.  Do we see from here what that artwork is? ...
