11 February 2013 / #winter #winterlude A few photos from Winterlude todayEarlier this month Samsung sent OttawaStart a Samsung Galaxy Camera . Ours to keep, as long as we snap some photos at Winterlude and share them with our readers. Here are some of my pics from a quick one-hour visit to Winterlude downtown today. (There are more Winterlude photos in the OttawaStart Flickr Group too.)I saw lots of photographers on bridges taking shots like this.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8462334253/)This is going to be the most-photographed display at Winterlude this year. Everybody was taking a pic of it.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8463439188/)This was kind of funny. A “Warm-Up Zone” at City Hall, next to the Rink of Dreams.

Cool.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8462336677/)The Korean displays at Confederation Park added a lot of life and colour to the space.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8462337465/)Here’s another one.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8463438378/)Obligatory NCC safety sign.[ ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/ottawastart/8463437338/)**** ** See also: ** Ottawa Winterlude GuideIf you liked this post, you should ** subscribe to etcetera , ** our free email newsletter.
