Winter

 Here we see the Rideau Canal at night, as seen from the Bank Street Bridge. This shot was taken in late December. It has been a good year thus far for the skateway, and I have gotten out on the ice for walks.


A look out my windows at home, taken in mid-January. A condo tower near Dow's Lake is a ghost in the snow.


This sculpture stands outside the headquarters of Library and Archives Canada. A boy and girl sit on a bench, looking at home in the snow.


A pair of shots using bare branches against an overcast sky, taken at home.


Another view out the windows.


I was over at Lansdowne Park one day as snow was falling. The stadium field was quiet.


I walked over to the far side.


Here we have the Aberdeen Pavilion as seen from the south side.


And the southeast.


The Horticulture Building stands nearby.


And here's the Aberdeen from the west side.


This was taken the other night at home- icicles hanging off a lamp post, zoomed in.


A last shot for today- the National War Memorial on a February winter's night early on in Winterlude. More winter shots tomorrow before we get into Winterlude itself.

  4. After looking at your winter photos, I feel ten degrees colder. You certainly captured the feel of winter.

    1. I pass by them on occasion. It's a whimsical statue.

  8. There's no question about Canada experiencing the winter, you've shown us the evidence. Great shots, William.

  10. After seeing all my Canadian pals, I will not grouse (too much) about snow! I do love the photo of the snow-covered couple on the bench.
