Photographer's Note
Fleming Mill - built in 1827 - is the only Anglo-Saxon-type mill in Québec. It was classified as an archeological heritage property in 1983 and has been open to the public between May and October since it was restored in 1991. On five floors and bordering the banks of the St. Lawrence River. The first mill built by Fleming was in 1816, and was the focus of one of the largest trials involving the seigneurial regime in Canada. The Sulpicians, the seigneurs on the island of Montréal, attacked Miller Fleming, who contested their exclusive right to mill wheat.

Very nice composition with the foreground flowers and people next to the mill to give scale.
Because of the direction of the sunlight I think the mill is quite dark compared to the rest of the scene, there is also a bit of lens flare. It may have been better to shoot from the opposite side of the mill or return when the light is better - not always possible when travelling I know.
