As I mentioned yesterday, I am closing down the series on Winterlude with three posts from one last trip on the Rideau Canal for this year. Appropriately, my visits when taking pictures were at night, which tends to be quieter. The Canal can be very busy during the day. For this occasion, I met the Canal a short distance beyond the Pretoria and 417 bridges, which are in the distance in this shot, and where I'd left off during my last trip.
I was heading downtown, taking pictures both forward and back.
The University of Ottawa has its campus here along one shore.
Around the last bend, with Centretown on the left and the university on the other.
We'll leave off here today. The Corktown Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that links Centretown with Sandy Hill, the neighbourhood that is home to the university.
The river is still very frozen
ReplyDeleteIt's closed for the season now.
DeleteQuite a walk.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good night.
DeleteGreat photos of the skaters at night. The last shot is my favorite with the bridge.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Thank you.
Delete...plenty of room, but is the ice becoming thin?
ReplyDeleteNow it would not be safe to walk on. When last I looked some days ago, vehicles were on the ice removing things.
DeleteSkating at night would be quiet. You would only hear the blades.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
