Hard to believe to find in Old Quebec a lane like this in high season. The PiP shows the oldest house of Québec City (1675): Restaurant Aux Anciens Canadiens

View from the terraces at Chateau Frontenac down the St. Lawrence River. Those who have read my Wikipedia references know that "Quebec" means "where the river narrows". After Quebec City, the river widens again, but firstly becomes divided into two arms by the Ile de Orleans. Behind of it, the estuary of the St. Lawrence opens, which becomes up to 60km wide. On the right edge the east (or south?) bank is visible with some houses of neighbouring city of Levis. From the left edge to the center of the picture, Laurentian Mountains, one of the oldest mountains in the world can be seen.

Months ago already I was thinking about how to present panoramic shots here on Ipernity. One possibility for me could be a screenshot video. I have only little knowledge about that video thing and because the result was not really convincing for me, I asked Claus-Peter, Markus and Uwe for their opinion. Since none of them shouted "yarks, leave your hands of it!!" I will show you after weeks of silence what I managed to do back then. I am still not satisfied, but my time for such things is very limited and I doubt that I ever will handle moving pictures any better, than here. An almost 180° panoramic view along and across Ottawa river can be seen here, rather little of Ottawa City ('cause it's in our back), but a lot of Gatineau and a very little of huge Quebec province.

Panoramic view through the gap between Parliament Hill (left) and Major's Hill (right) with Château Laurier (wikipedia english , wikipedia deutsch ), across Ottawa River to Alexandra Bridge and the city of Gatineau (wikipedia deutsch ), Quebec Province. About Rideau Canal: wiki engl. , wiki deutsch and Rideau-info.com . The same two pictures stitched in a different way (about 2008) and croped differently can be seen as PiP.
