A Cold Time In A Hot Town Tonight

No, it doesn't look like this around here at present.

These shots date to the last day of February, after a snow storm. At the moment around these parts, it's seasonal, but we've already had some hot days.

These are close to home for me.


At one point there was a church here. I've never found what happened to it, but all that's left is a side chapel and the basement. Today the basement is a parking garage for a number of townhouses, while what had been the floor of the church is a private yard for those townhouses.


Another church can be seen down the street here. It's the Peace Tower Church, an independent church.


Later in the day I was out in the Glebe and stopped on the Bank Street Bridge to photograph the Rideau Canal looking east. The Canal is presently filled up for the season, with boats apparently being allowed to travel just now as opposed to some weeks ago. The current Covid situation would be a reason. The stadium at Lansdowne Park can be seen at left.


Here's a view taken looking into the stadium. Part of the field is given over to parking in the winter. Right now the sports teams operating here are on hiatus.


I finish with a shot taken a couple of days later. This was in the Westboro neighbourhood. More cold scenes tomorrow.

  3. Hello, it looks pretty when the snow first comes down. I am not a fan of snow and cold weather. Have a happy day and great week ahead.

  4. It seems odd to see snow in June, but we have plenty of the white stuff in our mountains still.

  5. It does feel odd to see snow pics. It is like I totally put it out of my mind when it finally leaves.

  7. It's hard to believe what's in these photos when you see them in June.

  8. I have to admit, William, looking at these scenes on a hot day can really cool one off quickly. This past winter, we didn't have nearly as much snowfall in Nashua, NH.
