BEDROOM, HÔTEL DE GLACE

This is what a bedroom at the hotel looks like. Each room has a different layout and design but all of course are made of snow and ice. For the price of $474 you can have this unique experience but I bet it will be cold when you step out of bed.

HÔTEL DE GLACE

Not far from Quebec City I visited an unusual tourist attraction.Its the ice hotel. Every year this hotel is recreated entirely from snow and ice. You can actually stay there if you like sleeping in bed made from ice. Of course you get special sleeping bags but I think it would be chilly. This picture shows the bar with very ornately carved ice pillars and bar. I will post a few other images from this hotel. It definitely was worth the visit.

YELLOW HOUSE, QUEBEC CITY

The streets are icy and gray but the brightly coloured homes in the old part of town adds cheer to a dull Winter's day.

WINTER TREES, QUEBEC CITY

The light, the trees and the colour all reminded me of paintings by Maurice Utrillo. or it simply might have been the Winter atmosphere, which attracted me.

WINTER CARNIVAL, QUEBEC CITY

During the carnival you will meet quite a few traditional figures like these two characters.

WINTER FUN, QUEBEC CITY

The Winter carnival in Quebec City is a great family event. Here a picture of the toboggan run on the Boulevard Champlain.

WINTER, QUEBEC CITY

Just returned from the Winter carnival in Quebec city. We had a great time enjoying various events and just simply sightseeing. I had some time to take pictures but mostly spend time with the family. The old seminary , now the architecture faculty of Laval university. The subject of the austere architecture of the building in the snow works well in this simple almost minimalist picture.

SUBWAY, NEW YORK

Time for another picture. Again it has been some time since I posted a new image. Its a busy time for me so I have not given as much attention to my blog as I should have. Hopefully it will change. This weekend I will be in Quebec City for to enjoy their Winter canival. I am looking forward to it and am planning to take many pictures. In the mean time here is another image from my New York trip. I made quite a few images of the NY subway.
