My Saturday morning running route of late has been taking me by the same bend in the South Saskatchewan River, and taking pictures of the river in its various moods and seasons has become a good excuse to stop and catch my breath for a few minutes.
Here's the river on a calm and mercifully warm day in late October with little hint of the winter to come.
Nearly the same spot in early November, after the first snowfall of winter, with ice starting to form at the bend.
And the river as it appeared this morning, 24 November, after a week of cold weather and thickening ice.
Today's run, a very slow 16km, got me over the symbolic number of 2000 kms logged since spring 2010 using the Nike Plus app, a full month ahead of schedule. It would be nice to get to 2100kms before this Christmas.
Cheers and thanks for looking. MP+

ReplyDeleteAfter my last adventure, I'm going to estimate 25 or 30 pontoons to span that.
ReplyDeleteCurious to hear more about that last adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou'd probably need pontoons, not sure the ice is thick enough. :)
