Cold Snap

Frozen Fountain
The family had dinner Sunday night at one of our favorite restaurants, Nathalie's in the Central West End. The temperature had dropped to the low teens F (around -10 C). We entered the courtyard and found this fountain. It has a beautiful Belle Époque look (as does the restaurant's interior design) but someone forgot the water valve. Hope the pipes didn't burst.

  3. That could end up being very problematic.

  4. It makes a very pretty photo! I used to love the restaurants in the Central West End. My favorite place was called Cafe Balaban but I believe it's closed now. When I was there it had a very French look to it. I remember on a more recent visit seeing TV screens over the bar which told me that it had changed quite a bit. Now I think it's closed completely.

  5. I'm suprised this isn't a monochrome but it looks good in colour! We're still hovering around the + 10 C daytime temps but finally, at long last, weatherman says they'll drop this weekend. But weatherman is often wrong and it isn't supposed to last anyway...
