EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Chris Wattie, we witness the enchanting scene of people gracefully gliding on ice skates along the Rideau Canal in Ottawa. As snowflakes gently descend from the sky, a serene winter wonderland is created, transforming the bustling city into a magical realm. The image captures an exterior view from above, showcasing a perspective that allows us to appreciate both the vastness of the canal and its frozen surface covered in pristine white snow. The photograph beautifully portrays real people engaging in this beloved Canadian pastime amidst nature's wintry embrace. Although their identities remain unrecognizable, their silhouettes against the snowy backdrop add an artistic touch to this natural phenomenon. The creative use of lighting highlights each individual as they navigate through an alley-like path formed by towering trees on either side. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that even during a snowstorm and frigid temperatures, there is immense beauty to be found outdoors. This image serves as a reminder of how our environment can transform into something truly breathtaking when touched by winter's icy hand.
