    Probably fewer than you do when you step out your door.

    ^^lol.. well homelessness is on the rise in many cities in Canada. The cost of living is insane.


    Did a hike around Pink Lake in the Gatineau Park. Thought I'd share a few photos.






    The lake is actually an emerald color.

    ^Thanks, just the name of it. It is emerald green which I'm not sure you can see in the pics due to a lot of algae in the water.

    Your link answers my question.

    History
    Pink Lake is named after a family of Irish settlers who in 1826 cleared a farm in the area.

    The Pink family? What were they, spawned by a Tarantino character?


    Went hiking/camping in the Blue Mountains of NSW and a few not too bright backpacker lasses believed my story of it being so fokin' cold that every pioneer's dead body was blue from the cold when found. Hence the name.

    There was some smog in the sky that day, because there was an alert that the smoke from the forest fires out west was in our area. It didn't really bother my breathing, but it was visible in the air on that hike.




    The hike takes around an hour to do. There are lots of stairs and for part of it you are in the forest. For the most part you go around the lake. It is a beautiful hike and I've been wanting to do it all summer.

    On to a bike ride I did a week or so ago along the Rideau Canal.


    There are quite a few pedestrian bridges that go over the canal. I went on this one that is newish near University of Ottawa.


    View looking downtown Ottawa



    In my element here.




    These locks are in the southern part of the canal near Carleton University. I was on the other side and had to bring my bike over them.
    Was thinking that Joe may come visit to bike sometime as he mentioned.






    Beautiful tour boat in the waters



    I feel so lucky and appreciative to live in a city like this, especially after living in a place like China for four years. Fresh air, green spaces, empty spaces..



    Have a great weekend everyone!

    You're kidding right? It's a square, ugly block designed to pack as many people as possible into it. There's a thousand beautiful boats before this one that has no single redeeming feature!

    Yeah its okay, not a big deal. I just don't feel like posting on here anymore whether you like the boat or not, doesn't matter to me.
    I do put effort in this thread, so I just don't feel like it anymore. Ta

    I believe this rabbit is a pet to someone because we got so close and it never ran away.
