Île d'Orléans

Île d'Orléans is an Island near Quebec city which is a model of Quebec traditions, agriculture, tourism, and history. This small island (small is a relative term ...) has one main road going all the way around its contours and at every corner and turn there is another small farm. It has always been a hub of agriculture and this continues today. From corn, to vinyards, to orchards, to maple syrup 'farms' the island has it all. The image below is from a tall lookout constructed at a reststop on the northern point of the island, taken facing south. The second is a panorama facing North. Clicking on the image will bring you to the Picasa image and then clicking on the magnifying glass, zooming in, and using your mouse to click and drag will give you a closer look of the Panorama.
