Lorne Order Situation

A Riverside Study In Light And Shade

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON

It's a tough challenge - take a photograph with almost fifty per cent of the frame area in silhouette. I was just lucky with this one. I was in Quebec City on a rainy, grey afternoon when the weather suddenly lifted. I was near the Chateau Frontenac, intrigued by the pavilions on the splendid boardwalk of the Dufferin Terrace. One was the Victoria pavilion, the same name as the Australian state I live in. Another was the Lorne pavilion, the same name as a coastal town in my home state. This shot suddenly loomed and I captured it on a little Pentax Optio. Tne light was just right, good enough to provide a view of the mighty St Laurence River and a cruise liner in the background.
