I’ve noticed that since I’ve started sketching that I look up a lot.  In doing so I’ve realized how much we miss as we go through a daily routine.  But rooftops have lots to offer, as do features on multi-story buildings.  In large part, we pass by, never seeing any of it.

So it goes if you sit in the little garden/park in the St. Roch area of downtown Quebec City.  The flowers are great.  The artificial waterfall is great.  Even the people sitting and walking around are great.  The constant stream of buses and cars that pass by the park are great.  You can draw all day without looking up.  But if you do, you see this:
