Night Walk

 This was a good year for the Rideau Canal skateway. It opened in late December and closed for the season in early March. On the last weekend of Winterlude, I took this shot from Plaza Bridge.

I took my time heading down to where I was going to go down to join it. The Corktown Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that links Centretown on the west side with the University of Ottawa campus on the east side. I took this shot looking back the way I came as night was descending.

And then the other way. I intended to go as far as the bend in the distance before walking back to the start of the Canal.

The bridge is a graceful design.

Conditions on the ice were ideal for a walk.

Majestic Ice

 Picking up where I left off yesterday.

This one was my favourite of the ice sculptures.

And we come back to the last one of the ice sculptures. Tomorrow we begin to close down this series with one last visit to the Rideau Canal skateway.

In The Spotlight

 I was delighted to get these shots in during this visit.

For today, leaving things off with this sculpture and its depiction of a dog team.

Bathed In Colour

 It was an amazing year for ice sculptures.

During this trip, I was a bit further back than I would have liked- the formal walkway was closed off on a non-event night, with security guards around, so you couldn't just skip on over. However, it didn't hinder taking photographs. And they looked so good under the coloured lights.

We'll carry on here tomorrow. Leaving off with this beaver at the base of a sculpture.
