      daffodil: that is ice! Mostly, people are skating on the ice. It is the Rideau Canal that freezes up and when the ice is sufficiently thick, the canal officially becomes an ice rink where a LOT of people go each year. There is even a festival. Check it out.

      Absolutely magnificent! The festival is called Winterlude and it takes place on three consecutive weekends in February.

      There isn't exactly a focus. But it should deffinitely be on the cover of a tour map!

      Maybe a different perspective or framing? (Further left?) I find the road and traffic signals distracting on the right...

      the road detracts from this shot to me.... Othewise a pretty nice shot.... what if you had been over to the left about 100 feet or so ?

      Another touristy snapshot. And yeah, the perspective would work better from a different angle.

      this is pretty bland. it doesn't say much of anything about what it's like to actually be there.

      *because debnfodz hasn't figured out how to add the freakin tags yet.
