Canadian Firefighters Memorial, February 14, 2016

Valentine's Day, 2016. We are into a cold spell on this day with the temperature at -20°C / -4°F at the time of taking these pictures. As you will see the cloudless blue sky provided excellent light for photographs.















Look at the tracks in the snow here. You can see that there are tracks that go
off the path next to the wall and go closer to the wall. That tells me that
since the last snowfall, a few days ago, someone or a group of people came to
the memorial looking for a name. From the quantity of tracks next to the wall I
deduce that they very likely took pictures once they found the name. The
location of the tracks tells me they were likely from Manitoba or Saskatchewan.

Temperature on this day was on the plus side, 2°C. Although mainly overcast the clouds had parted a bit to let a large blue area through.

Canadian Firefighters Memorial, January 17, 2016

I wanted to come out to the memorial a week earlier but when I looked out from where I lived I saw moderately heavy snow and white roads. The first photographs for 2016 come a little over two weeks into the new year. I hope you have a good one. Firefighters, stay safe.
