It was -6°c on the opening night of the 2012 edition of Ottawa’s Winterlude.  This was the first time I would attend a winter fireworks display, and the colourful lights against a white backdrop kept everyone in awe.

While the Sydney Harbour Bridge might be more famous, our Interprovincial (Alexandra) Bridge is flanked by the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada (all seen in these photos).
