This is the view of the surrounding mountains from our cabin in Glen Sutton, Quebec. It’s about 60 miles southeast of Montreal. Pretty spectacular, eh? It didn’t snow much while we were there, but on the way home we ran into the blizzard! We had to dig out a place to park on the street before we could even park the truck! I think Montreal got 20 cm. Needless to say, my back is tired from shoveling, and I have had a cold for several days also…but, the time in the woods was fabulous! I especially enjoyed the quiet – quite a contrast to the busy street I live on. Speaking of contrast, how about that last shot I posted of true Urbanism versus today’s post?? That was a shot of one of the “rabbit holes” as I like to call ‘em. It’s a long escalator in the subway.

Beautiful! That’s the thing that always gets me about truely wild places; the quiet. Other than the wind, there is very little noise. I love that but find it very seldom.
“miles” eh? Love the mountain view! Did you have running water or did you have to rough it up?
I’ve been to the Mont Treblant (in the opposite direction?) area before it became touristy and it is spectaclar! Beautiful photo!
Serene… solemn. Solitude and tranquility is so important in our lives. Glad you’ve enjoyed the contrast.
what a beautiful place! a blessing indeed!

…Epcote Center vs Disneyland is the place to visit, so I been told.
…i too, thought your comment to Jude very insightful. I enjoyed it.
I can just smell the fresh air. Done here in today’s ice the nose didn’t smell anything but cold.
Wonder how much if any your mom got.
I saw the interesting tunnel, just didn’t comment. I remember a smooth sleek feel.
Beautiful view! Reminds me of the North Shore of Lake Superior here in MN. Peaceful.
Wow that is just gorgeous ~ I was in Montreal last summer and fell completely, utterly, hopelessly in love with the city. Can’t wait to go back next year!!!!
