A Winter Walk on Bank Street

Terry and I like to walk on Bank Street in downtown Ottawa. Sometimes we fantasize about downsizing and moving to this old neighborhood...














(It reminds us of our single years, when we both lived in downtown Montreal.)














The neighborhood is changing - and there is an interesting mix of old and new buildings...














...with high-rises sprouting up all over. (Well, not really highrises! A city by-law prohibits the building of structures taller than the parliament buildings in the downtown core...)


















Terry could have stood for hours watching the excavation of this new building site... (Condos, perhaps...?)














The downtown area is convenient and popular with many... (including birds?!) But I'm not ready to give up my garden and move into a condo!
