Québec on a Rainy Day (Slides from 2001)

Português:
Em junho de 2001, quando estava terminando minha estada de 1 ano na Universidade de Akron, Ohio, viajamos para o Canadá, não muito longe de Akron. Passamos por Rochester (há uma galeria sobre a visita à casa de George Eastman, fundador de Kodak), Montreal e fomos até a cidade de Québec, 400 km a nordeste de Montréal. Nesta região, a cultura francesa é muito forte, respeitada e mantida, visto que foi uma colônia da França no Canadá, de predominância inglesa. A cidade de Québec foi fundada em 1608 por Samuel de Champlain. As ruas e construções lembram bastante certas regiões da Normandia e Bretanha, na França. A principal atração é o Chateau de Frontenac, finalizado em 1893 e às margens do Rio Saint Laurent. No dia que estivemos era chuvoso, interessante para fotografia colorida. Usei um filme de slides Fuji Sensia que foram macro-fotografados com uma Panasonic Lumix G5 equipada de uma lente Olympus macro 30mm/3.5.

In June 2001, when finishing my stay at University of Akron, Ohio, we travelled to Canada, passing by Rochester (there is a gallery related to our visit to George Eastman, founder of Kodak), Montreal and finally the city of Québec. In this area, the French culture is very strong, respected and maintained since Québec was a French colony inside the predominant English culture of Canada. Québec city was founded in 1608 by Samuel Champlain. The streets and buildings are quite similar to those of Normandy and Bretagne in France. The main attraction is the Chateau de Frontenac finished in 1893 at the banks of the Saint Laurent river. The pictures were taken on a rainy day, which I consider interesting for color photography. I used a Sensia Fuji slides film; the slides were macro-photographed with a Lumix G5 camera and a Olympus macro 30mm/3.5 lens.
