Concluding The Evening Along The Canal Skateway

 Carrying on where I left off yesterday, another look at the Flora Bridge.

I zoomed in for this.

I carried on. A small stone arch bridge carries Queen Elizabeth Drive over an offspur of the Canal called Patterson Creek. This spot is open for skaters.

Another glimpse back at Flora.

The next bridge was ahead- the Pretoria Bridge.

Along the east side of the Canal, seen through the trees, is a Catholic high school.

A final look back at the Flora Bridge.

And on I went.

The Pretoria Bridge is a table bridge at the north end of the Glebe and Old Ottawa East, linking the two neighbourhoods. It's over a century old, dating to 1915. A table bridge is one where the centre section can be elevated as needed to allow for the passage of taller boats. It takes its name from the street it's on, which was itself named in honour of veterans of the South African War.

I looked back before heading up the stairs and departing the Canal. I will return to the Winterlude series after the theme day.
