February 11, 2008: Winter Carnival Sights!!

  Mixture of photographs that I took over the last couple of days.  The Winter Carnival is going full force around the city.  Off and on snow has only added to the wintery scene.  We had heavy snow overnight with high winds.

The St. Lawrence Seaway behind me – lot of ice flowing down and up the river
