I was just passing by on my way to see my dying step-mother, so I just stopped a couple of minutes to photograph the obvious. A couple more Mashteuiatsh innu / Montagnais native reserve images are on my stock site.
A tipi-shaped artwork is seen on a promenade facing the lac St-Jean lake in the innu (Montagnais) reserve of Mashteuiatsh (also called Pointe-Bleue) in the province of Quebec, Canada. The reserve is the home of almost 2000 Innu-Montagnais.

I went on a small trip to Ile d’Orléans island earlier this week. I was looking for agricultural stock photos. Did not exactly got what I was looking for, but I came back with some usable image.

| Earlier this week, I drove Thetford Mines. I wanted to get some stock photos of the decaying asbestos mining industry. The city became a hub for one of the world’s largest asbestos-producing regions before the industry went to a major slum when health concern was raised starting to appear some decades ago.
The huge mine tails, the abandoned mines, and the one still active are very impressive and gave me some cool photo. Here is some, but see more on my Thetford Mines asbestos mining stock photo collection. |
Plus tôt cette semaine, je suis allé dans la région québécoise de Chaudière-Appalaches jusqu’à Thetford Mines. Je voulais ajouter à ma collection d’images quelques photos de l’industrie de l’amiante. La ville était auparavant un des plus importants centres miniers de cette industrie jusqu’à ce que les risques pour la santé lors de l’utilisation de ce produit ont été évoqués il y a quelques décennies.
Les haldes (énormes montagnes de résidus miniers), les sites abandonnés et les mines toujours en fonction m’ont donné quelques photos très impressionnantes. En voici quelques-unes, mais vous pouvez en voir plus sur ma galerie de stock photo de l’industrie de l’amiante à Thetford Mines. |
