We stayed in a little hotel in Quebec City and this was the view from our room just as we found it.  The architecture in the city reflects the history, of course, and this  building seemed to have walls a couple of feet thick.   To stand overlooking the St. Lawrence River can harken one's mind back to times when nations fought bloody battles for this real estate...not to mention what they did to the native peoples...but, then, I digress...this is a photography blog afterall.
