Coaticook has become a vibrant tourist destination since Foresta Lumina, a nocturnal illuminated pathway in the Parc de la Gorge, has been in business. After attracting 72 000 visitors in 2014 (ten times more than what was expected), it was visited by 145 000 people in 2015.

Hundreds of lanterns have been hung to street lamps to extend the "magic" of Foresta Lumina to downtown Coaticook.

Completely agree. Whats not to love?

[zoomer]

Those lanterns are pretty sweet.

Some pics I took while in Vancouver a few weeks ago - some from the Top of Vancouver revolving restaurant at Harbour Centre, then of the Marine Building and Shangri-la.

[Rico Rommheim]

Fantastic. I simply love Vancouver.

We went to see the local film How to be Deadly on Water Street tonight. Donny Dunphy himself was there, in character. It was great - a silly little movie with lots of recognizable personalities, poking fun at lower class Townies at mainlanders. Lovely evening!

Coffee on Military Road.



Taking one of the lanes from Duckworth down to Water.







Watching the movie.



Heading back up to Duckworth via Soloman's Lane.



Fancy fish and chips to end the evening.

A little of the Old West End and Riverhead neighbourhoods this morning.





(Don't Google Streetview either of the above... they are cropped very selectively, Both areas are either hideous or destroyed by four-lane roads and ramps)

The misty (winter) or hazy (summer) layering of the mountains as you look out of downtown is just gorgeous.

This sign has been there since I was a child... but let's round up, give them the benefit of the doubt, and say this sign was erected in 2000.

That'd mean the building dates to 1700.

It sure doesn't look like it.







This town (Trinity, obvs) was first settled, SEASONALLY ONLY, by the Portuguese in 1501. The English took it over in the 1570s, and started using it seasonally. It wasn't until the early 1600s that people settled there, the first court was set up in 1615, so there weren't people living there year-round long before that.

I just don't believe that the marina represents the style of building that would've been erected prior to the 1800s.

Magnifiques photos, Martin! Montréal + Québec.

I also can't believe this red shed is more that 300 years old, SHH. It must be one of the oldest authentic standing structures of the province!

[Trevor3]

I would guess that the red marina building in Trinity has been used for just about every purpose over its life. Chances are, that second level with windows was an addition in the early 1800s and the real roof would have sloped down in the front to the same height as in the rear. All those windows on the ground floor are probably filling in the gaps that would have been left open for barn-type doors to open the building to the wharf for use in the fishing industry at some point.

The windows on the side of the building might be sort of telling. They all sit at slightly different heights, especially the upper windows. Could indicate a series of different ceiling and floor heights, indicative of different renovations and uses. That middle one could have been a "doorway" or hatch to vent the upper level at one time, while that uppermost window is probably much later after the roof line was raised.

It would be fun to look inside the walls and see what the history of it actually is, otherwise its all guesswork really.
