QUEBEC CITY 3, QUEBEC, IN EVENING LIGHTS, OCT.2016



       We with Margy visited Quebec City in the second part of October, accompanied by our family Check friend Radka. Our Hotel Maison was in the old city on Rue Ste-Ursule and we walked by foot to everywhere for 15-20 min. We booked sightseeing tour by top-Decker red buses and second day we saw everything around Red bus tours. The most interesting part of the old city was around the Central Street in the Old city- Rue Saint Luis and it’s continuation after Port Saint-Louis – Grande Alee Est till the most contemporary Hotel Concord with round top. I went out after dark second evening and took night photos of most illuminated places on those two street, full of restaurants and hotels, including Fountain de Tourny between them and the buildings of Parliament and Centre des Congres de Quebec.
     All my best evening and night photos of Quebec city are included in this blog-album.
