Place D'Youville - Rue St-Jean, Quebec City

Another pano taken on my night out in Old Quebec. I'm always amazed at how long exposure will erase many moving details. There were around 50 people skating on the ice, but less than 10 are visible; obviously the ones not moving.

Place d'Youville is one of the nicest place in the city. It has the Capitole (built in 1903 and now a Hotel and high class Concert Hall. Up the Place d'Youville, there is the Palais Montcalm build in the 1930s, and fully renovated a few years back. It has supposedly one of the best acoustics you can find in a Concert Hall. Place d'Youville is also part of many festivals in the summer, and has an ice rink in the winter.

Price Building and Quebec City Hall

Walking through old Quebec, there is one building that is taller than everything else. Add that it is white and very well lit, and you get the Price Building (Wikipedia).

Cirque du Soleil 25th Anniversary Statue

This year is Cirque Du Soleil 25th anniversary. It all began in Baie-St-Paul, so the city celebrated throughout the year. Being a cirque du soleil fan, we went to see a few of those events, and shot this pano. It is actually shot from the middle of the statue erected for the 25th anniversary. The interactive version will give a better feel. I'll add within a few days another picture taken from a "normal" point of view.
