A look at the Abyss

I hope I grabbed my reader's attention with the title of this post. I was looking for something that fitted the subject. It is utterly and shamelessly melodramatic, but look at this picture. I found it in an old folder, from the trip to Quebec in Easter 2010. It was taken from the top of Montmorency Falls. It is quite a sight. Earth, water, air, all clashing together, and the light rising from it in a rainbow. I wonder why I didn't blog this picture before, but thought it is better late than never. There is not much to say really, I just wanted to upload it.

A place high up a hill

This picture was taken last Easter at Montmorency Falls in Québec (more about it here), where we went with my family (direct one plus uncle, aunt from Haïti and my cousin). We had a drink there. I was watching the pictures from this trip earlier on, feeling homesick and all., which is often my state of mind, especially since I haven't been home for a while. Montmorency Falls is a magnificent place, just remote enough, but I thought it looked like a wasteland a bit. It must be much nicer in Autumn and I hope to get there at that time one day.

The trees were bare and Strangely enough, it is not so much the falls which I really enjoyed, but the chalet on top. I had a beer (a Boréale rousse) on the patio outside and it was lovely. One does not need more to be happy. Even with tourists all around, it felt remote and quiet. I felt in the middle of nowhere.
