November 7th we returned to standard time. Consequently our afternoon light disappears an hour early (sunset is just after 4 pm in Quebec City)! Ugh (definition - used to express disgust or horror - synonym is yuck or yecch)However our late October walking in Charlevoix was marvelous (definition - wonderful, astonishing - antonym - rotten or Ugh). The sun shone and winds ranged from gale-force to calm. Temperature was near zero but very comfortable for climbing Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes, La Chouenne and Mont du Dôme.
In the large photo I'm shooting north as we climbed the tourist path up Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes. Picture center is Mont du Dôme that we tackled the next day and found more rugged with a scenic outlook to the south where you see Paulette, Karen and Lorne picnicking below.
Canon 7D at 22mm focal length, ISO 320, 1/1000 sec, f/ 10 ( I kept a fast shutter speed to freeze the walking action of my subjects. It wasn't necessary for shots of mountains that move very slowly even in Charlevoix)
