Jack and I have arrived safely in Pointe Claire and we’ll be staying here for a week or two before heading home. The weather here is really humid and hot so we decided to head out early and what better place to go for a walk than beside the scenic St. Lawrence River. The road that runs beside the river is called Lakeshore Drive and it’s a very exclusive address. The homes along it are all large, beautiful and most definitely out of my price range. That’s alright. Looking is free and dreaming is fun and at the end of the day I’ll still be content with my own little house.

Lovely scene. Looks windy too, at least the water seems to indicate that.

They’re going to be underwater in 50 years, anyway.
Marcus Ranum says
Wait, no, maybe the lakes won’t rise. I’m not sure what’s going to happen there. More heavy weather definitely, and more precipitation.
It’s not going to be a great future for big expensive waterfront houses.

I would love to live somewhere near a large body of fresh water, like a lake, or a river. But without the mosquitos.
But at the end of the day, I am too content with my little house.

Marcus,
Ha! Excellent point.
Ice Swimmer says
I love the way the surface of the water looks, such a rich texture. Also, the sky is out of an painting and the light on the shrub/sapling is beautiful.

I’ve been there! Or nearby, at least. Your photos in general have been extremely nostalgic, so familiar but so different from what I see these days.
