Description
The Rideau Canal drained and this part is closed for the winter. The rest of it is frozen over and used as the world's longest skating rink! The canal runs into the Ottawa River and you can see the Alexandra Bridge that crosses from Ottawa to Gatineau, Quebec

Wonderful winter capture, Stephanie ~ l/f
Stephanie Moore replied:
Glad you like it, Phil - closed for at least another month! Thanks for the f/l
Bunny Clarke
An amazing scene and capture.
Stephanie Moore replied:
Many thanks, Bunny - it is hard to imagine winter today, it is 66F - a record, I think!
Ian Lewis
Beautiful! Love the high pov. It somehow seems like a modern Canadial Lowry!! :) 'm fascinated by the boats sitting in the empty lock! L/F
Stephanie Moore replied:
Thanks so much for the LF, Ian - I guess there isn't too much water left in there so the boats sill be safe for the winter - at least no-one could steal them!

Stephanie, I teach philosophy courses (for many years now). Winter has really been difficult here this month! The extremes of weather now are challenging!

Stephanie, this is a fabulous perspective on the snowy city of Ottawa! I know it's been cold there this year, as it has here lately. I have been teaching three courses and have not had time to be on FAA, but I look forward to visiting your gallery more in the near future. l/f

Hi Elizabeth - nice to hear from you. What courses are you teaching? Glad you like this shot, Ottawa is a beautiful city, but so cold in the winter and so hot in the summer! Many thanks for the favourite!
