Street Sweeper in Quebec City
Under the violet wash of Quebec City’s blue hour, a narrow cobblestone alley in the Old Port reflects the amber spill from a nearby café window. A street sweeper leans against a weathered limestone wall, his yellow broom resting vertically, bristles dusted with fine gray stone powder. The scene is busy with texture: wet pavement mirrors the neon signage above, while steam rises from a manhole cover nearby. In the background, the silhouette of the Château Frontenac looms faintly against the deepening sky. A discarded paper cup sits near the broom’s base, caught in the rhythm of the city’s evening cleanup. The light catches the wet stone, highlighting the gritty reality of urban maintenance against the historic backdrop.
