Part of the issue may simply have been increased quantity. In the old days there might have been one photo thread a day ("Grand Rapids Mega Photo Tour! 56k Beware!") so you'd click on it because there wasn't much else. As digital photography became more accessible the volume became somewhat overwhelming... suddenly the once a day 25 picture post became the 20 times a day 50 picture post. It was a lot to keep up with, not to mention the fact that it would often get repetitive which is hard to avoid with this sort of thing.
love the Quebec pics!.. what neighbourhood is that in that one pic with a bridge in the foreground? i don't recognize the buildings behind it.
It the Trois-Soeurs pedestrian bridge, over St-Charles river. It is located between St-Sauveur / Limoilou / Vanier / Pointe-aux-Lièvres. The buildings you see are those of the neighbourhoods of St-Sacrement and Montcalm I think! The building with towers is the St-Sacrement hospital.

I was in the town of Saint-Raymond, QC, today. It is located about 60 km north-east of Québec, in the Laurentides hills and on the shores of Sainte-Anne river. It has a population of about 11000.
Nowadays, Saint-Raymond is mostly known for sports, outdoors (there is the famous Vallée Bras-du-Nord regional park), mountains and cheese (the Alexis de Portneuf cheese are made in St-Ray). It has a decent but tiny downtown - everything is made of red brick. Saint-Raymond is the town of the balconies - Saint-Joseph Street has been well preserved.
That's a very nice town. I hadn't even heard of it before but I'd love to pass through whenever all of this is over.
I always think Montreal has a late spring but I forget that anywhere downriver is even later... the leaves are already in on the big maple tree in my garden, but St-Raymond looks like the snow has just melted (there's even a snowbank in one of your pics!).
Faudrait que tu demandes à MartinMtl comment aller chercher plus de résolution sur instagram parce que ton excellent set de Québec aurait cassé la baraque en haute résolution!
