lac cascapedia

It took me a while to decide if I would go for a shot with a jetty and some canoos with the lake as background, or a more open space. Finally I took this one.

I stayed at the Camping Du Lac-Cascapédia, and every morning I went to the waterfront to warm up in the sun. It took my camera ca 20 minutes to warm up enough to get rid of condensation on my lenses. In the mean time I enjoyed the triumphant sounds from two kingfisher on the other side and in the distance (they are somewhere in this shot, but far too small to see). Birds all around me!

I stayed in PN Gaspesié for three days and 3 very cold nights! On a gorgeous second day I hiked to the top of mont Xalibu.

The whole trip: From Brighton Ontario I went straight to Tadoussac that's in the heart of the marine park, and the day after I went to the camp site Les Bergeronnes, where I spent 5 days whale watching on the shore (and one boat trip), every 5 minutes or so seeing whales popping up.

On the fifth day, around sunset I took the boat from Les Escoumins to Trois Pistoles. The south and the north shore of the bay are very different. The north shore has lots of rocks, while the south part is a little more sandy, and it is a fantastic drive all along! I finally headed to PN Gaspésie, where I spent 3 very cold nights in my tent (with all my clothes in my sleeping bag), but the park is wonderful!

Back in the direction of Brighton I spent a few hours in old Quebec, and drove the 1000 islands road, along the saint Lawrence river.
I certainly can recommend everybody who loves nature doing this trip. It should take around 2 weeks!
