Beyond A Chateau Of Doubt

The power of the tower

The Chateau Frontenac is without a doubt the single most outstanding symbol of Quebec City. Standing over both the Upper Town and the Lower Town and dominating the skyline like a silent sentinel, it is an amazing piece of architecture to photograph - in any light, in any weather and at any time of day. The first picture, a rather unusual angle if I may say so, was taken so that I could include the statue of Samuel Champlain, founder of the city, in the same frame. It was a challenging equation. The second frame was one of several shot in the courtyard of the Chateau. To view more of my images of the Chateau, visit Toronto-based Margaret Deefholts' e-zine, Encounter, at http://www.margaretdeefholts.com/encounter/davidmcmahonphotos-july06.html

Unbelievable!
Sacrilege!

I think it was some athletic feat to get the two in one shot. Well done (for what it's worth).
