What an fascinating walk and history lesson you took us on. Loving your pictures! I think you could easily add explorer to your list and you got de Champlain beat as a photographer and storyteller. Keep on writing and sharing those pictures.
What a lovely walk & talk…the new life in your “it’s getting greener” and the thoughtful “eye in the life” photos were a delight. I love bridges. The polished stainless steel spheres were wondrous and reminded me of a longtime favorite quote from “The English Patient” by Michael Ondaatje: “This woman who would someday know the sacredness of bridges”. Thank you, Alex.
I walked southwards, on the west side of the bridge. When I saw this metal balls, I walked up to them, admired them and tried to find myself as just a small spot like you can see on the picture. And then returned to the west. A bit like Kip, only approaching from the other side, but likely unlike Hana. I think the reader will never know the end, but I guess he was right, or at least kind, to think so.
It’s wonderful to keep our curiosity alive. My favorite scene was Kip bringing Hana to the church and illuminating the walls as Hana gasped in delight at the unexpected beauty. Thanks for reminder of this film. Will watch, experience again today!!
Thank you for a lovely post! I shared it with my Canadian neighbors who are back home now that winter has gone.
Thank you Jean, it briefly feels like (a cold day in) Florida here ;-)
👌 📷🚶♂️ . . .the river walk and talk (-:
that would have been a better title!
Reading *this* this morning feels uplifting and more "normal" - thank you :) A summer of hiking sounds absolutely dreamy!
Stay tuned, I plan to share my experiences here
Thanks to your newsletter now I know Samuel de Champlain, the Rideau river, Ottawa and more.. so keep on exploring and photographing… 👍🏻👌👋🏻🌺
