Looking upstream.

Travelling down the Lawrence Valley, fertile and well cared for lands are all around. The Laurentian mountains form the background scenery. They are among the oldest geological formations on earth.

Travelling down the Lawrence Valley, fertile and well cared for lands are all around. Looking closer, the north end of Île d’Orléans is visible, a more middle part in PiP1. The Laurentian mountains form the background scenery. They are among the oldest geological formations on earth.

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.

Zu sehen sind vier von sechs Brücken, die den Ottawa River hier überspannen und Ontario mit der Provinz Quebec und Ottawa City mit seiner Zwillingsstadt Gatineau verbinden. Was in der Mitte wie eine fünfte Brücke aussieht, ist ein Damm, der den Fluss aufstaut, die Chaudière Fälle fast trocken legt und das Wasser zwei Kraftwerken zuführt.

The French River (French: Rivière des Français, Ojibwe: Wemitigoj-Sibi) is a river in Central Ontario, Canada. It flows 110 kilometres (68 mi) from Lake Nipissing west to Georgian Bay ... The French River flows through typical Canadian Shield country, in many places exposing rugged glaciated rock but also through heavily forested areas on the upper portion. The mouth of the river contains countless islands and numerous channels which vary from narrow, enclosed steep-walled gorges, falls and rapids, to broad expanses of open water. Together with the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers, the French River formed part of the water highway from Montreal to Lake Superior in the days of the fur trade. It remained a major canoe route until about 1820. Around 1855, the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada provided newfound access to the area and the Georgian Bay. This led to increased exploration and interest for fishing and logging during the era of the Industrial Revolution. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, there was a boom in logging along with the creation of Lumber barons in the Great Lakes. The French River was "ripe for the picking with its seemingly inexhaustible supply of timber and proximity to the American markets". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_River_(Ontario)
