Walking along the canal..

[fajrdrako]

Went for a walk today along the Rideau canal, with Lisa. It had been cold and snowing, but by the time we went out - about 2 p.m. - it was sunny and beautiful. We talked about her recent travels and books and various things, doing the loop across the Pretoria Bridge, up the east side of the canal and across the Bank Street Bridge, then back to my place, where we had a cup of tea.

I was extremely tired from walking on the lumpy snow, but it felt good.

At Pretoria Bridge, I took a picture of the canal in that rare stage after it's frozen and snowy, but before it has been plowed to become a skating rink:

Living somewhere where this never happens - it never gets this cold - I'm sort of in awe of frozen rivers/lakes, so this was cool to see!

I'm glad you liked it. I liked the pattern of the shadows on the snow.
