Sunrise, Sunset, And Shadow Upon The Canal

I was passing over the Rideau Canal at Bronson Avenue one morning in February and liked the light of the sunrise. The ice on the Canal is mostly gone by now- though not all of it.


Further east, at Bank Street, I photographed the light in the sky to the west at dusk some days later, adding in a black and white shot while I was at it.

  5. @Linda: indeed.

    @Tomas: I agree.

    @Lauren: in this case the Canal was still solid. The reflection comes more perhaps from the regular flooding of the ice.

    @Marianne: I am only up for one in winter.

    @Revrunner: eventually!

  16. @Linda: usually with a sunset I prefer some clouds in the sky, but in this case, that last light of the day beckoned me.
