Here is a breathtaking sight on the Appalachian Montains as seen from the top of Mt Jacques-Cartier. This image only covers a small fraction of the whole 360° landscape you can see there. I'll upload some panoramic images soon.
Our too-young and too-new America, lusty because it is lonely, aggressive because it is afraid, insists upon seeing the world in terms of good and bad, high and low, the white and the black; our America is frightened of fact, of history, of processes, of necessity. It hugs the easy way of damning those whom it cannot understand, of excluding those who look different, and it salves its conscience with a self-draped cloak of righteousness. Am I damning my country? No; for I, too, share these faults of character. And I really do not think that America, adolescent and cocksure, a stranger to suffering and travail, an enemy of passion and sacrifice, is ready to probe into its most fundamental beliefs.

G'day Marc-Andre,
These kind of vistas are always seductive to us photographers, our eye *scans* the breadth but the camera doesn't and it's devilishly difficult to capture what we see and how it made us feel. You've got some good angled lines moving into this image, I'd crop out the rocky foreground though.
Mikel.
