Wednesday Walk: Views From the Parking Lot

in #wednesdaywalk5 years ago

My Wednesday Walk started with a drive to the hardware store for Hubs to pick up some furnace filters.

As we left the driveway, I noticed the snow still covering the ground and how Jack Frost had clothed the bare tree branches in white.

While Hubs was in the store picking up the filters, I walked around the parking lot checking out the view below of the Montague River.

To the lower right are the fish sculptures and in the long building with the clock on top, a Lawyer’s Office and Dental Clinic.


Looking down from the elevated position in the parking lot, I see the yellow fish and chip vehicle has closed for the season.

Another view of the river. It hasn’t frozen over...water is still flowing freely.

All the boats have been removed from the harbour basin and communty activities have ceased there until spring.

Town of Montague has hosted many fun events and concerts at the waterfront.



Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by @tattoodjay, the idea is to get out for a short walk, get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start.

What a quaint,lovely looking place. Thanks for sharing @redheadpei

Welcome Rob. Thanks for lovely comment. 😊

Howdy there redheadpei! Really nice shots, I like those fish sculptures! I assume the river freezes over solid, it looks like it would be a nice place to ice skate. maybe. if you like that sort of cold weather activity.

Thanks Cowboy. The Montague river is salt water so doesn’t always freeze well.
Too dangerous to skate on but there are lovely sports arenas with artificial ice to skate in. Also outside ponds that freeze over.

howdy redheadpei! oh that makes sense, saltwater yes...do you guys have a pond, are you out in the country?

Yes, I’m in the country surrounded by forest. There is a stream running through the property that’s good for fishing.

Oh my gosh redheadpei then you're all set if the stuff hits the fan! At least for water and food., does the stream freeze in the winter?

Cowboy Jon, I could fish but don’t like putting worms on the hook...ugh!

haha! I know what you mean and I hope things don't collapse so you never have to do that yucky job! lol.

Nice photos, my dear. I believe Montague is an animated town during the summer. Now it looks so deserted.
I Iove the first shot. Trees are amazing with this icy frosting. 😍

Thanks dear Roxy. Not a big town but really busy with tourists in the summer. That part of the Montague looked quiet but more goings on in stores on other side of bridge. There are two big grocery stores- Superstore and Sobeys. 🥰

That was somehow expected. As soon as the Halloween is over, the stores become overcrowded. It's like the end of the world is about to come...or Christmas. 😂

Beautiful views I would never have guessed they were from a parking lot
