A Cold Blast Of The Best Weather

I have some snowy shots for you today. Dundonald Park is in Centretown, near to where I live. This first shot is in early January.


One snowy evening, I took these two shots, a few streets apart, in Centretown.


The following day, I passed through the Glebe, photographing this view of a side street, waiting to be cleared.


A few minutes later, I photographed this view of the stadium at Lansdowne in the early morning light, with snow on the field.


This was taken on a different day back in Centretown, where piles of snow were accumulated on the sides of the road. These are removed in the days that follow a snowstorm, though it can take time.


Here we have three views of Dundonald Park, taken one sunny day.


And I finish with these shots at Dow's Lake, part of the Rideau Canal skateway. The wooded area on the far shore is the Arboretum.

  2. You have to promise me that the winter weather will keep you there and not send to the Netherlands! Most of the flowers woke up here! Will be a disaster if the snow and ice come here ...

  8. The narrowing of roads by piling the snow at the sides makes me crazy.

  11. Oh wow! Looks amazing William, could not be more different from my weather if it tried! Looks particularly beautiful when the sun is shining too. That last shot is a gem ✨

  13. How nice to live so near the park. I love the last photo of the adirondack chairs by the lake.

  22. Such lovely shots. I enjoy winter, but it's much nicer to see it in pictures than to try to navigate around in it. Love those chairs, too. :-)

  23. I enjoy winter and these shots reminded me of the snow that's no longer here on the ground. My favorite was the last shot of the 3 chairs as if they were waiting for people to sit in them.

    1. Probably a better idea to sit in other seasons, though, as the seats are snow covered!

    Snow...and more snow. You're in your element, aren't you?
