Picking up where I left off yesterday. The Queen Elizabeth Drive runs along the side of the Rideau Canal, and over this bridge. Patterson Creek is a small inlet of the Rideau Canal, and a portion of it is plowed and counts as part of the skateway. A perfect area for beginning skaters to learn.
One last look back at the Flora Bridge.
And towards my destination, the Pretoria Bridge, around the bend.
It's actually one of two bridges here, with another bridge behind it, the overpass for the 417 freeway. The Pretoria Bridge was named in honour of veterans of the South African War.
Its central section can be raised up to allow for boats to pass beneath.
One last look at the Canal, but I'll have another walk on the skateway to close this series out.
Heading home, I passed by St. Matthew's Anglican Church in the Glebe, where to my surprise there was a snow sculpture. Fittingly for a church, it was the dove of peace and the world.
Peace would be nice.
ReplyDelete...when we have rivers and canals, you need bridges, not walls.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge looks pretty lit up at night. Love the snow sculpture.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful day and a happy week ahead.
Lovely night photography.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed this walk again.
ReplyDeleteWe need more peace bringing pigeons, much more!
I can feel what it likes to be skating on the canal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along the canal, William.
ReplyDeleteFine winter photos along this river. But warmth is coming and all that snow and ice will melt very soon.
ReplyDeleteThat snow sculpture is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Beautiful night photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy winter, sometimes it's a bit overwhelming especially when I drive to work so early in the morning. Your winter views are wonderful, they always are.
