Venice, Italy "The profession of gondolier is controlled by a guild, which issues a limited number of licenses granted after periods of training and apprenticeship, and a major comprehensive exam which tests knowledge of Venetian history and landmarks, foreign language skills, and practical skills in handling the gondola typically necessary in the tight spaces of Venetian canals." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gondolier This was an all male profession until August 2010 when Giorgia Boscolo became the first female gondolier in Venice's history.

Batisse the goat is the regimental mascot of the Royal 22e Régiment. He participates in the changing of the guard ceremony which is held daily in the summer at the Citadelle in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The original Batisse was presented to the unit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1955. That goat was the descendant of a Tibetan goat given to Queen Victoria by the Shah of Iran in 1844. AIMG_1833

The Citadelle is today a military base and an official residence which is located atop Cap Diamant in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It was built in the 17th Century as a French fort and expanded by the British between between 1820 and 1831. In its time, because of its location at the top of the hill overlooking a narrow strait and its star shape, it was a mighty defense against a potential threat by the Americans and potential internal revolt.

It was a gray and rainy day and I did not hold out much hope for good pictures.
