A Walk In Ottawa

The big heat seems to be over and win­ter will be here soon enough… So on Sat­ur­day, I took my cam­era and went down­town for long walk. Despite its “bor­ing” rep­u­ta­tion, Ottawa is actu­ally a really nice city.

I first went on Par­lia­ment Hill. Fun place to hang out, there’s always some­thing hap­pen­ing: deposed politi­cians try­ing to net­work, busy Mem­bers of Par­lia­ment, demon­stra­tors, tourists try­ing to take a per­fect picture…

Walking on Thin Ice

The stairs were steep and cov­ered by a thick layer of snow, totally buried under­neath. I tried to fol­low in the foot­steps left by the guys already on the ice. I took small and care­ful steps. My goal was to take a pic­ture of the locks viewed from below…

Winterlude !

Win­ter­lude started last week in the nation’s cap­i­tal. Prob­a­bly the best way to cel­e­brate win­ter and the waaaay below freez­ing tem­per­a­ture !
Sculpt­ing ice when it’s — 20C is a Cana­dian sport… And yes, it’s done with a chainsaw.
