Colourful

Picking up where I left off yesterday, more of this colourful tunnel along Sparks Street.

More colours, with this translucent installation and the balls swirling inside, constantly changing colours.

Moving along, I've always liked this particular building, a former bank. I wonder what its next iteration will be. Likely government offices.

Evidence of things to come- ice blocks. I had wondered about the state of the ice sculptures from the first weekend, or if a second set of ice sculptures had been erected. These were cordoned off.

I continued on.

I leave off today with Wazaakone Woodland Bears at night.

Glowing

 More from INFRA at Winterlude.

I carried on and stopped by this interactive tunnel.

And then I went in.

Lights

 I returned to Sparks Street some nights after my previous visit, a weeknight when it was quiet. The teeter totters were still here.

I mentioned the central core having a mix of colours of liquids visible inside. Here they are- light and dark.

This art installation once again caught my eye.

The wolves were still in fine shape.

I tried another setting on my phone. The wolves went supernova.

Shine

 More today from the ice sculptures. They are most beautiful in the night.

This next set, of course, is for Nunavut.

And this is the spirit horse of the ojibwe.

Two more to round things out for today, just up the street. The Haunted Walk is a tour company that takes guests for a walk around spots in the downtown core that have a reputation for being haunted.

Its neighbour is D'Arcy McGee's, an Irish pub named for the Father of Confederation Thomas D'Arcy McGee, whose Ottawa residence was down the street from here.

Light

 More from where I left off yesterday.

Along the way, something unexpected. Teeter totters are something that one doesn't see often these days. These are a bit more spruced up than the ones we might have grown up with. The centre core that's lit up on each is filled with liquid- or liquids, with the darker portion being the heavier- and shifting back and forth as the teeter totter goes up and down.

Another site along the way.

And here we are- the ice sculptures at night, with shifting lights changing colours.
