The snow-covered Plains of Abraham
Bundled up against the cold, British soldiers stand guard on the Plains of Abraham. Like every winter, the expanse is buried in snow. Most certainly a winter place, Québec City receives 303 centimetres of snow on average every year. The column seen in this piece is the monument to British general James Wolfe, a tribute that has taken many forms over the years.
