A Finish Line

 The home stretch: the path home from here led due north.


It's up here at the northwest portion of the lake that the vehicles used to clear the ice of snow are kept.


A first good view of the Dow's Lake Pavilion. There's a couple of restaurants in there, and during warmer weather a boat rental operation.


I came around the side of the pavilion.


Leaving the ice, I walked around the side of the pavilion for a look back at the lake.


And then a view of H.M.C.S Carleton.


A last view, of where the skateway begins or ends, depending on one's perspective. I left here to get some well deserved food over at the nearby Di Rienzo's. I had earned it with a walk like this.

  19. Nice to see the little pops of colour in this post William, they certainly stand out in the surrounding white of the snow. You absolutely did deserve that meal at the end of this walk ✨

    @Jeanie: it's got a restaurant or two inside.
