Return to La Banquise


The winter season provides many advantages for the walker who loves open spaces. One of them is the pack ice (la banquise in French) that forms along the Saint Lawrence River. This is a wide angle view looking downriver and downwind towards Québec City.


I also like isolating close-up elements. Shards of ice are forced into infinite shapes by the river's tides and current. I took this picture lying down to remove the horizon and highlight the ice formation.
