A Night Walk Upon A Frozen Canal

 One last look back at the Flora Bridge, now well behind me.


And then forward.


This building was already glimpsed in photos yesterday. This is Immaculata, a Catholic high school near the north end of Old Ottawa East.


Up ahead, two bridges- the 417 freeway bridge higher up and behind the Pretoria Bridge.


The Pretoria Bridge is named for the avenue that crosses over it, which is named in honour of Canadian veterans of the South African War.


Its central section can be raised to allow taller watercraft through, as the arch is relatively lower to the water. I took some shots, and departed from the Canal here. We'll return to the Canal skateway when this series comes to an end.

  3. People have been skating, playing hockey, walked, biked and more on the frozen lake in Stockholm. I was there yesterday, 7C and the ice melting fast. And no one out on the ice. Spring is coming. Nice Winter snaps here.
