The photo above shows two ferries shuttling between Quebec and Lévis through the ice in winter 2024. It doesn’t take much to immobilize a ferry in ice, but this year the layer is fairly thin due to a very mild January.

Taking advantage of a ferry crossing that has cleared a section of the St. Lawrence River, a crew is training for the Quebec Winter Carnival’s ice canoe race, which takes place every year between Quebec City and Lévis.

Above, the ships continue their work at dusk. The routes recently taken by the vessels can be seen. I took the photo from the Dufferin Terrace   with a tripod-mounted Canon 5 DSr camera.

Lieber Francois,

es ist immer eine Freue, Deine Bilder zu sehen. Und gibt es in einer Stadt einen schöneren Blick, als den von den Terrace Dufferin über den St. Lorenz ?

Hallo Jörg, danke für deinen Kommentar. Das liegt an den verschiedenen Jahreszeiten und den wechselnden Lichtverhältnissen, die immer wieder neue und interessante Möglichkeiten bieten. Und es stimmt wirklich, dass die Aussicht von der Terrasse Dufferin absolut großartig ist. Man kann sich gar nicht satt sehen!
