Last night, I went for a nice, long walk, maybe the last before the real snow comes and walking is no longer fun.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0route took\u00a0me around several government buildings here in\u00a0Ottawa Lowertown. Here is one of them, with some rather unusual light effects due to some low-hanging clouds and a partially closed bridge that is under renovation:<\/p>\n
