Embedded into the snow at Jacques Cartier Park were a series of period photographs. These were from the Great Fire of 1900, when an out of control fire destroyed much of the original core of what was then Hull before jumping the Ottawa River and into Ottawa. It was brought to an end at Lebreton Flats.
I kept moving.
I was able to get into a couple of alcoves, where a combination of snow and ice carving was found. The first had an ice bench with a snow carved background.
The second combined the flag, snow carving, and an ice bench.
It was time to head back across the river. I took some shots of the slope before departing.
Most cities seems to have a great fire. In Stockholm people lived in fear of the next big fire for many years. And for good reason as the city saw many big fires through the centuries. The slopa look like fun for kids of all ages.
