From the Anglican Cathedral my path followed a somewhat rambling route, leading eventually to Kent Gate through the city walls on rue Dauphine.
Part of Kent Gate and ramparts. The two towers just poking up on the left are part of Quebec's National Assembly - Quebec City is the Provincial Captital, while Ottawa (also in the Province) is the National Capital.
The gate as seen from outside the walls, looking back to where the previous photo was taken.
Looking north along the ramparts - from the outside. Quite a challenge to invaders!
A church (although it may not be used as one now) just inside the city gate.
The view from the top of the ramparts, showing more of the National Assembly building, and (to the left) the area where the horse drawn carriages come to rest and/or harness their horses.
The defender's view out over the invaders. Presumably this provides access to release boiling liquids, or for firing arrows.
The horse resting area, with a few resting horses and a carriage.
A panorama (roughly 270 degrees view) of Quebec City and nearby country, as seen from the ramparts between Kent and St. Louis Gates. I'm still working on creating good panorama shots. You'll note the colour across the image is inconsistent, especially towards the right hand side. It's better than the raw photos!
The left side looks toward the moutains north of the city; there's also the towers of the Kent Gate. The tall, cement structure is the Price Building, an art deco design. The street in front of the nearest buildings is rue d'Auteuil. Then the towers of Saint Louis Gate are visible in among the trees, and finally the image finishes with the Province of Quebec's National Assembly.
Looking roughly north, showing the plains and distant hills.
