The above photo was taken while returning from a photography session in the Jacques-Cartier National Park on Route 175, near Quebec City. The rapid drop in temperatures in the early evening allowed the rapid formation of low clouds in the valley. The autumn colors and the effects of the setting sun on the clouds help bring the landscape to life. Landscape photography is often the result of careful planning; but one should not overlook unforeseen opportunities, as is the case here.
Route 175 is heavily used by semi-trailer trucks for trips between Québec and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. So I waited a bit for an eighteen wheeler to get close enough to include it in the photo.
