Technical Notes:

 

All of the pictures were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone.  I’ve been so happy with the quality of the pictures from smartphone cameras that I no longer carry a camera.

 

Smartphone cameras struggle a bit in lowlight situations, and that can sometimes cause a slight distortion of the image.  But I am extremely happy with the overall picture quality produced by smartphone cameras.

Fall Colors Cruise

~~~ 2018 ~~~

Near Bar Harbor, Maine

 

On October 2, 2018, Richard and Carolyn went on an 11-day Fall Colors cruise that began in Québec City, Canada and terminated in New York City.  We flew to Québec City 2 days before the cruise because we had never been there before; actually, Carolyn had spent one day there B.R. (Before Richard), but that was decades ago.

 

Québec City is a beautiful city (“Dating to 1608, Québec City retains its old colonial core, Place Royale, and historic harbor, Vieux Port, now known for nightlife.”), and we spent 2 nights in the Auberge du Trésor: “The buildings comprising Auberge du Trésor and Bistro 1640 are built on a rich historical site.  In 1740, a half-timber house standing at the corner of Sainte-Anne and Du Trésor becomes the only permanent housing for the French regime in New France.”

 

At the end of the cruise, we spent 3 nights in New York City, staying at the Excelsior Hotel: 1 block from Central Park; many restaurants in the area; Metro stop on the same block; the American Museum of Natural History across the street; and Zabar's delicatessen and coffee was only 3 blocks away.

 

Because there are so many pictures, I have created 3 albums that you may view at your leisure … or ignore at your leisure.
