Skate

 Continuing where I left off yesterday, another view towards the Arboretum.


This looks into the home stretch of the skateway- it curves to the left, where it meets the Hartwell Locks at Carleton University.


My path this morning took me north- towards the top end of the lake and back towards my home.


I looked back. The sun was peeking through the clouds.


The Dow's Lake Pavilion is at the northwest corner of the lake, housing a couple of restaurants.


My exit was at the end of this stretch, through Commissioners Park and back to my apartment.


I took one last shot before heading that way, back where I had come. We'll return back to the Canal as the series goes along.

  5. You still have a great deal of ice. Our lakes are still covered in ice, but we have had above freezing temperatures for the past week. It feels like spring here, but looks like deep winter in your photos.
