Winterlude

When it gets really cold and dark in Ottawa, the city holds a festival to cheer people up. I seem to have forgotten about this when i wrote my account of Ottawa over the winter, perhaps because I hadn't uploaded the photos at the time. Winterlude's main attraction, apart from skating on the canal, is the ice sculpture competition that goes on ,with artists arriving both locally and internationally to compete. Our photos were taken on Neil's phone, so they're not the best, and it's a small selection, but it gives you some idea of how awesome they were. There was also a polar bear on stilts. Cool.
