Spectacular set! There is some seriously good composition here.T-R is a really neat city, as well.

Is Shawinigan interesting/worth photographing?

Tres interessant.

Quite possibly, the most overlooked Canadian city >100,000 people on this forum. A very interesting and historic place. Parts remind me very much of certain Montreal districts like Pointe-St. Charles, Verdun, St. Vincent-de-Paul, etc.

Great photos.

Amazing pictures AX!

man those tags are so random... "a bas l'etat le gouvernement et la..." et la what? "tous coupable"... of what?
"pourtant t'es verte pis en plastique" was funny though

"disparue" vs "present!" was very clever. You have an eye, for sure.

Very beautiful pictures, wonderful composition, but it looks like T-R is still suffering the depression of the 30's. What are the main economic sectors in that area? Also i never thought it would be so flat! P.S. can you post a profile picture of the blue office tower you were in?

You know how to do it, and you do it so well.

Art in all of them.

I had never seen photos of Trois Rivieres before. Thanks for sharing. I guess I was expecting a bigger town. But cool photos. I love seeing photos of cities I have heard of all my life but have never seen before.

Much appreciated the photos.

I think I'm going to go on a little B.C. holiday and get some photos from around the province. Maybe Prince Gorge, Kamloops, Kelowna etc.

again thanks for the Quebec photos...too cool!

Great tour. Funny how Trois-Rivières is little known even in Quebec given its location and size. In the sense that few people go there on a visit or just to know the place better.
J'imagine que c'est plutôt une position ingrate que d'être entre Montréal et Québec.

Excellent pics.

J'aurais bien aimer voir les rues commerçantes du centre-ville.
