For the next little while, I'll be showing you some of Ottawa in the winter. One morning in mid-January I was out during the immediate aftermath of an overnight snow storm. Snow was clinging to the trees in the early morning light here in the Glebe.
Here is one of the entrances down into Central Park, a ribbon park in the north end of the neighbourhood. I've been photographing this area, both east and west side, for a post I do each year showing the transition from winter into spring. This looks down into the east side.
And this looks over into the west side.
I continued on with my walk, into Centretown. Early morning drivers were making their way carefully along this street.
This is the Church of St. Barnabas, an Anglican church.
A short walk further, this view drew my eye.
Dundonald Park is close to home for me. This was the view in the park that morning.
And here it was the following morning. People had come out to make snowmen and snow forts during the intervening 24 hours.
This was one of the snow forts. We'll pick up here tomorrow.
These are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Will have to catch up on your recent posts. Love this one though, brisk and white winters are the very best.
ReplyDeleteIt´s beautiful - but I´m glad it´s gone.
ReplyDeleteSnow is lovely when it first falls.
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter shots!
ReplyDeleteThe force of nature...
ReplyDeleteWe had a lot of snow here too and than ice after that. I like the snow when it is fresh fallen and pristine. After that is is always a mess....
ReplyDelete...I like a fresh snowfall, we are having a thaw now.
ReplyDeleteOttawa gets more than its fair share of snow.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures but winter storm ... no thanks! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe first pics look best. They must have been taken at an earlier hour.

ReplyDeleteThese are great shots...and sharing a stormy day's snow is to be commended...lots of walking and hopefully you didn't have to bare a finger to click a shutter, like I do when using my phone camera...keep those gloves one!
