The Marginal Way Therapy

The Marginal Way Therapy

One of our favorite summer getaway is Ogunquit, Maine. We have our routines. Breakfast at Amore with Leanne, some beach, good books and twice a day, a nice walk on the Marginal Way.

During summer 2011, my wife and I woke up early and we went to Perkins’ Cove for the sunrise which was quite promising. I took my 360° gear out of the trunk for a ride on the Marginal Way. We finally end up with more then 10 spherical panoramas of this amazing trail sculptured by time.

If an image worth a thousand words, this tour of the Marginal Way is… speachless! Enough words… Enjoy the Marginal Way Therapy.

 

While waiting for the tall ships

A nice view of the port, waiting for the tall ships.

I create my first panorama from this nice terrace, well…  years ago. It’s one of my favorite spot no matter the season. In a few weeks, the port will be invaded by tall ships.

To mark the 400th anniversary of Quebec historian Marcel Trudel says without Pierre-Dugua-de-Mons, the founding of the city would have been impossible.

This image of the Quebec Bridge was photographed at 800mm. This image was made from 120 pictures of 36 megapixels. These 1.5 billion pixels depict the state of this “wonder of the world” in 2016. Zoom into the image to reveal fine details.

The Quebec Bridge (Pont de Québec in French) is a road, rail and pedestrian bridge across the lower Saint Lawrence River to the west of Quebec City, and Lévis, Quebec, Canada. The project failed twice, at the cost of 88 lives, and took over 30 years to complete.

The Quebec Bridge is a riveted steel truss structure and is 987 m (3,239 ft) long, 29 m (94 ft) wide, and 104 m (340 ft) high. Cantilever arms 177 m (580 ft) long support a 195 m (640 ft) central structure, for a total span of 549 m (1800 ft), still the longest cantilever bridge span in the world. (It was the all-categories longest span in the world until the Ambassador Bridge was completed in 1929.) It is the easternmost (farthest downstream) complete crossing of the Saint Lawrence.

The Quebec Bridge was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1995.
