Walking back along the street I couldn't help but notice these buildings. Hidden behind the pillars of the highway was this church built in the same style as the Château Frontenac and the buildings at the Gare du Palais like railway station and the Canada Service offices. It looked almost forgotten. And yet it is one more thread woven into the fabric of Québec. I love the consistancy of architecture of the city. Threads pop up here and there in unexpected places.
Further down the road twards the hotel are buildings from different periods. The sun reflecting off the roof of the spire on these buildings from the Georgian period caught my eye.
It's like travelling back and forth through time. In this part of the city the time that had been has been respected and reinterpreted in newer, modern structures without distracting from them. By the way the wired dome on this building is a beauty by night.
Having said all that, one block down and the view leads to this. A steaming power plant in the city reminds me of travelling down the hills of into the city of Prague. It also reminded me of Edmonston with all the steam billowing out of the chimneys. And then there was that other curious construction...
