Percé Rock Flowers (Quebec)

I love the view of Percé Rock. This massive limestone cliff is so unique and distinctive but sometimes looks completely out of place in its surroundings. It reminds me of the huge battleship from the beginning of the 20th century.

Last time I visited the town of Percé as a part of my driving trip to the Atlantic coast of Quebec. After spending 3 days in the wilderness of Forillon National Park it was a very different experience to be in Perce which is a  busy tourist attraction with thousands of people staying in this tiny place. It felt very crowded.

After visiting Perce on multiple occasions. I had plenty of photos of the Rock. This time, my goal was to find a different and more interesting perspective of the rock. I noticed yellow flowers with the fence at the top of the cliff facing Perce Rock and I thought they would be great foreground elements of the composition.
