Great photos. Shitty about not being able to do the Rideau canal skate.

O Ottawa in January without snow is drear and lifeless.

Good thing we have Harls to add some humour to the scene.

That was a treat. Sorry you guys can't enjoy your winter cause of the warm weather. That residential neighborhood looks pretty nice. Cute houses. Guess I better put Ottawa on the travel list, but unless I retire soon, I don't know how many places I'll ever really get to. Thanks for the pics harls.

Damn I love Ottawa. I think the city looks great even though it's not frozen over. Less cold is better as far as I'm concerned. (though I do love figure skating)

Thanks gents!

Gatt - that pic is on boul. Hurtubise, un peu plus loin dans l'est. I drove right to the very end to some gate and there was some couple making out in a Pontiac Sunfire. They gave me a nasty look so I made a u-turn and left them in peace
