On The Skateway

 Picking up where I left off yesterday, more of this stroll along the frozen Rideau Canal at night.


One last look back at the Bank Street Bridge from here.


A look left gives us glimpses of the stadium and Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park.


A short walk on, another perspective. The lit structure is a light sculpture at Lansdowne.


I paused here. There's a gap in the trees that gives a view of the Pavilion.


Zooming in a bit with my phone gave a closer view at the structure, with a skater passing through.


A short walk further on, I looked left again as a skater went by, with a headlight. Beyond, a skate changing area, and a Beavertails outlet.


The next destination was before me- the Flora Bridge, beautifully lit in the evening.

  9. It always astonishes me to think of walking on that surface (or skating) while all that water rushes along underneath!

    1. To be fair, since it is a canal, the flow is less than that of the river it's linked to.

  11. I am surprised to see all the people out walking or skating on the ice this time of year. It must be cold there.
