An Elegant Bridge By Night

 I looked back the way I came, with Old Ottawa East to the left now, and the Glebe off to the right, with the buildings of Lansdowne Park beyond the trees.

The Flora Footbridge is a pedestrian bridge named for Flora Macdonald, a former Conservative cabinet minister and a well respected humanitarian, who lived in the area and was well liked. It's the most recent of the bridges in the city, and elegant in its design, particularly so at night.

Crossing to the far side, I took advantage of the bridge lights to photograph skaters.

And then I continued on, looking back.

The path ahead, with one more bend in the Canal before I was to leave it.
