Olympic Shades

 Just off the property of Lansdowne Park, beside the Rideau Canal, lies a particularly photogenic bed of tulips, in a circle around a statue that was placed here for the Calgary Winter Olympics. Note beyond the trees- there's a boat on the Canal.


As the path winds around the bed entirely, I started around.


Here at the far side, through a gap in the trees, we can see the Aberdeen Pavilion.


We'll carry on here tomorrow.
