From One Bridge To The Next

Starting where we left off yesterday, here are a couple of more shots looking back the way we came. 


I continued on, and at this point looked back again.


Then I looked forward. The bridge you see here is the next bridge along the path.


This is the Corktown Bridge, which links Centretown on the right to the campus at the University of Ottawa at the left. This is a pedestrian bridge, spanning the Canal in a graceful way. I noticed as I passed beneath that the scourge of love locks is returning to its railings.


I kept walking, looking back to the bridge from where I was.


This view takes in some of the buildings of the university campus.


I kept along, starting into the first major curve of the Canal.


Looking back, I photographed the campus again.


The next bend was ahead, along with the next bridge, a crossover for the 417 freeway. We'll pick up from here tomorrow.

  15. Do you have special shoes for walking on the ice? What an eyesore those love locks are. Great photos from a very different perspective.

  22. William - it is always interesting, in winter, to get a different perspective on our familiar surroundings. Ice offers us that gift!
