Permanent Darkness

November in Ottawa is a harsh mistress.

You wake up to this:


6:38 am. Cock-a-doodle doo!
And, after a hard day's work where you may never step outside, you come home to this:

5:15 pm - right about the time I come home
Never seeing the sun can be very depressing. That's why I, suspect, people are so eager to turn on their Christmas lights, buy gifts, and put up other Christmas paraphernalia. As for me, it's probably the reason I try and get out with Margot and Glosette Girl on the weekend and do lots of activities.

An added "bonus" to November this year is all the snow you see in the photos. That's unusual and very early. Now, on the one hand, snow reflects light, which lightens up the night a bit. That's nice. On the other hand, if there's one thing Ottawa is not short of, it's snow. Le sigh.
