 This was taken this weekend in Old Montreal. We sometimes tell tourists that visiting Quebec is a lot like visiting Europe, only it's cheaper and we're nicer :)!!

Many parts of old cities, like Montreal and Quebec, look and feel like France. I processed it to enhance the "vintage" look, did a fair amount of dodge & burn on the hotel's façade and then smart sharpen and resize for web.

Hope this will give some of you the idea to come and visit!

QC one of my fav weekend jaunts! It does feel just like Europe and so colorful and fun a place to hang out in the old walled city on a weekend.

Cheers & bon jour from an "over-the-border" neighbor in Vergennes Vt :)

And it doesn't even look cold! Where's the 4 feet of snow that always covers Canada? LOL! Excellent conversion.

My sister said it was like being in mini-Paris. She loved Montreal. I hope to visit someday.

This has a timeless appeal. MORE MORE
