December in Old Quebec



                                                                          Good evening!
           As I mentioned in my last post Old Quebec is beautiful at any time but after dark it becomes
           magical! Night time photography is not a skill I have come even close to mastering but I hope
           you will get a glimpse of the beauty anyway.
                 The little church above had a beautiful candlelit service on Saturday night when we were there.
               
                                                                      A perfect Christmas card!
       

                               It is a photographers paradise..... Georgianna, you would love it!

                                                              Romantique, n'est-ce pas?


                                                        There was a German Christmas Market when we were there.









I remember this shop when we were there in the Fall with lots of corn husks
decorating the outside then.




                                                     The beautiful Chateau Frontenac

Thank you for coming along on the tour with me and for all your lovely comments

Take care,
          Carolyn

    I think you captured that wonderful city's magic perfectly, Carolyn - wow.

    I just told my husband that Quebec has moved up on my bucket list now - you have inspired me to get out of town and go there one day soon.

    I would love to drop everything and just go now. Seriously.

    I've been to Quebec City a few times but never at Christmas time. Seeing your beautiful photos has made me want to go, so hopefully I am fortunate enough to do so in the future.

    Carolyn I'd say you are doing quite well with your night time photography… these are so stunning. The first I thought was a scene from a Christmas card. Thanks for sharing all of them.. I think I want to visit Quebec City!

    Carolyn, these are truly the most magical, Christmas-y photos I've seen this year, or maybe any year!

    And I was just scrolling along, oohing and ahhing and then saw your note to me. You got me chuckling as you are so right! I would love it.

    Well, consider I was there in spirit with you. Perhaps one day we'll visit there at the same time.

    Until then thank you for this gorgeous infusion of Christmas spirit. I think you did a wonderful job with the night photography and the falling snow is a perfect touch.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Georgianna

    Quebec is nice in the fall and in the winter, I think at all times, isn't it?
    I wish you a nice time and a
    Peaceful Christmas.

    Truly beautiful, Carolyn! I haven't been there yet but my son got to visit when he was eleven. He went up with his class in Danny Murphy's bus. He actually celebrated his birthday while there; exciting for a little guy!

    Christmas blessings,
    Sandi

    Wow Wow Wow!!!
    Your photos are so beautiful. I have put Quebec during Christmas on my bucket list for places to go in my life time. The first photo reminds me of a place that was in the movie with Leonardo Decaprio "Catch me if you Can". The scene was when he was making money in a small town in France where his mother grew up.
