Rimouski Impression (V) Pointe-au-père

Memory is not a river of no return, it is so alive and in vain.

This area belongs to Rimouski city, which is famous for its lighthouse and Maritime Museum (Musée de la mer).

This museum commemorates the 1914 sinking of the Canadian ocean liner Empress of Ireland, a disaster which claimed 1,012 lives. This thoroughly compelling exhibit features relics taken by divers from the shipwreck itself and a dramatic 3-D film presentation that documents the events which led to the tragedy.

Graceful Saint Lawrence River in her most magnificent moment -- sunset:

Brilliant deep blue broad river:

Sitting on this "Ocean liner", I feel as if the ship were moving and the ocean wave were pushing it from side to side; the entire river opens before me.

What a life:

I love taking a walk along this rive after lunch:

Winter, peaceful, quiet. At the first glace, I felt I were shifted by strong wind to Arctic.
