Nous sommes arrivés au Parc national du Mont-Mégantic en fin de journée. Nous avons eu le temps de monter (en voiture) au sommet du Mont St-Joseph pour faire une courte randonnée. Cela nous a permis d’avoir des vues splendides des environs et un aperçu de la splendeur des couleurs d’automne. Le lendemain matin, le soleil jouait à cache-cache avec les nuages mais il a éclairé, à quelques reprises, les superbes couleurs pour notre plus grand plaisir.
We arrived late afternoon at the Parc national du Mont-Mégantic. We still had time to go up (by car) to the summit of Mount St. Joseph for a short hike. This allowed us to have splendid views of the surrounding areas and a glimpse of the splendour of the fall colours. The next morning, the sun played hide and seek with the clouds but it shone, a few times, on the beautiful colours to our delight.

The colours are surreal! Absolutely beautiful. What a treat fort the eyes.
Thanks Jacqui. We absolutely loved the colours. It has been a long time since we had seen such a wonderful display of colours.
Amazing that you caught the colours at such an interesting time. The contrast between green and rust is stunning. The sweeping views makes you realize that this is big country.
Thanks Mel. So glad you enjoyed this series. The land is indeed vast and sparsely inhabited in that area close to the US border. You have a series of mountains that make the landscape very interesting. There are the Appalachian chain in the background, Mont-Megantic is a Monteregian and you can also see some of the big US mountains from there. On a clear day you can see Mont Washington in the far distance. It is a stunning area.
Fascinating!
Glad you found it interesting. It is an area we didn’t know and we were quite pleasantly surprised by its beauty. It is a region that is a bit unknown as a bit in the middle of nowhere!
Magnifiques. 🙂 Belle journée à vous !
Merci Vivien. Bien contente que vous ayez aimé cette nouvelle série. Bonne journée à vous aussi!
Magical. Absolutely stunning landscape made more so by those spectacular colours and as Mel says, the contrast with the evergreens … for me it is the contrast that really makes the spectacle!
Thanks Osyth. As I said to Mel, it is a very beautiful area with lots of mountains and lots of colours mixed with the evergreen…The contrast was indeed very stunning and you can imagine that is the reason we included them in the frame.
This reminds me that I need to get out and find the colors! Beautiful images here.
Thanks for your note. Here, the colours are pretty much done by now (these pictures were taken in mid-October). There are still trees with leaves but there are many with nothing left. We have had heavy rain and strong wind recently so leaves have falling fast…
Beautiful set, my friends.
Thanks for your note. Glad you enjoyed this series.
Wow! Thank you for sharing! We are not expecting a very vivid fall here in Arkansas, USA because of the dry, warm weather, so it’s nice to enjoy fall through your eyes!
Thanks for your note. We were a bit concerned about the dry warm weather in Quebec as well as we know it has an impact on colours but they were splendid in that area in mid-October. Now it is almost done as we have had heavy rain and strong winds so there is more leaves on the ground than in the trees. Glad you enjoyed this series.
