Golden Reflection

Thursday past (Nov 11) Paulette, I and the TamaLOUPs hiked the Mestashibo trail along the Rivière Sainte-Anne. After lunch we reached the Cathedral, a narrow twisting gorge with fast moving water. While the river was in shade, reflected sunshine produced this rich monochromatic golden sheen. Lovely! Check back to the post Water on Ice to see a touch of gold.

A few days earlier (Nov 6) Paulette, I and our friend Denis hiked to the top of Mont Saint-Joseph (elevation 1000m) in the Parc national du Mont-Mégantic where snow and hoar frost created the winter scene below. Interesting how an elevation change moves the seasons back and forward.
