Terrific photos. I just love living here in Ottawa and you have really captured the essence of the place [as far as such a thing is possible] with your photos and commentary. Wow!
Just today, a friend visiting me from out of town was going on and on about what a beautiful place this. We were stopped at a red light right in the Market and made note of the fact that there was NO GARBAGE… no LITTER, anywhere.
I said to him, “If I ever start telling you that I am moving from Ottawa, I want you to immediately kick me in the head.“
Cheers!

Hey Zhu,

Yep, Canadian winter is what made my parents leave Canada in the first place (as for us kids, we loved it).

But Ottawa is gorgeous at night: winter and summer !

I am so glad Spring time is near: in Portugal temps are rising (thank God) and by May…I don’t need to tell you, right?

Loved this post!

Cheers

but zhu, look at the beautiful photographs you take in winter. a stupid staircase is just a stupid staircase without a foot of snow on it. and look how clear your photos are– without the distortion of pollution and grime.
now go light a candle and see how pretty the glow is from inside your igloo. you won’t find *that* in california.
p.s. it was 70 degrees warm today. but they say this weekend we might get some rain.
i’ll be praying it snows in vancouver, b.c, et aussi les laurentides.

@Nigel Babu — Thank you! I’s one of my favorite viewpoint in the city.

@Beth — It’s true, we barely had any snow this year, even in Ottawa. More than in Toronto, but definitely not as much as usual.

@Crikette — Call me crazy but I think I still like Canadian winters best… I grew up in Nantes and the humidity just killed me.

@Agnes — Thank you Agnes!

@London Caller — The sky is often this color in the winter, right after sunset. Not sure why…

@Sidney — I know, it does look crazy, doesn’t it!

@Lizz — Thank you so much!

@micki — In the summer, days are very long and sunset is around 9 or 10 om. That I love!

@Charles Dastodd — Thank you!

@Yogi — Yes, it does get to you after a while. But Oklahoma is colder than I thought from what I see in your pictures!

@Andy Rodriguez — Gracias

@Tanya — It felt the same here. One Monday, I was like “oh, am I ahead…?”. Nope, just the days that got longer

@Lis of the North — Yes, we do get a lot of snow in Ottawa, although not so much this winter. But because we are expecting it, we also organized for it.

@dobbes — Thank you for commenting… and yes, I agree. The first snow is just magical, suddenly all the dirt is covered and even the sounds are muffled. That said, after a few months… snow doesn’t look so great!

There is something about snow that makes everything look so much better. Ah the cold snaps nothing feels better then when they warm up to –15 when they have been –30 or colder.
