SBP 1: Canada #010
Flight from Saint-Apollinaire (CAA4) to Alexandria (CNS4).
-
The Riviere Saint-Francois near Odanak. Near the Ile Saint-Joseph the river splits into the Chenal a Martel (left) and the Riviere Saint-Francois itself. Both rejoin eachother and enter the Lac Saint-Pierre.
-
Above the Riviere Richelieu south of Sorel-Tracy. There it joins the Fleuve Saint-Laurent (right).
-
L’Assomption on the northern bank of the St. Lawrence River. The Riviere L’Assomption encircles much of the town, giving it an fascinating shape.
-
Taken above Terrebonne (right) and Mascouche (left) on the northern outskirts of Montreal.
-
Approaching the St. Lawrence River near Saint-Placide (right) and therefore the border between Quebec and Ontario.
Notes:
- This flight is another example for my missing knowledge about Canada: I honestly didn’t think that Quebec’s western border was just beyond Montreal. Well, now we crossed the largest state in two flights. Not planned, but okay.
- It’s interesting to follow a river from its estuary upstream! Never done that before and to be honest: The St. Lawrence River is gorgeous!
- I was shocked on how much bigger Montreal is as compared to Quebec! Somehow I believed them to be roughly the same size.
