Shawinigan, a photo from Quebec, Centre

Photographer's Note

Located in the Mauricie region of Quebec, Shawinigan took off as a boomtown in the late 1890s due to the hydro electric power supplied by the falls of Saint-Maurice river. A number of industries made use of this power, including aluminum, textile and pulp and paper production.

While hydro-electricity is still an important industry in much of Quebec, Shawinigan's manufacturing sector is no longer nearly as prominent. Today there is a museum that commemorates Shawingan's industrial heritage called La Cité de l'Énergie (The City of Energy). The museum has an observation building (photoed here) that is appropriately in the shape of a hydro tower.

Hi Caleb
The soft light and colours has set a pleasant atmosphere and the little bridge in the FG leads the viewer nicely into the picture.
Greetings

Hi Caleb,

Very nice POV that put us on the bridge that lead to the boat dock with good perspective with this line of the railing. The presence of the couple allow the view to put themself in the scene. The light is really nice with soft gentle quality. Teh clouds casting nice sunset color with soft glow of warm liight. The atmosphere is really peaceful and calm. Lovely shot.

Way

Ciao Caleb che affascinante atmosfera avvolge questo luogo. Mi piace questo taglio e questi colori luminosi. Le due persone in secondo piano danno un tocco in più alla composizione.
Bravo
Buona serata
