First Ice – Haskin’s Point

Metal staircase leading into thin ice on the Rideau Canal at Haskin’s Point, Seeley’s Bay, photographed in winter.

Early winter stillness settles across Haskin’s Point as the Canal begins to freeze. A mindful observation of changing seasons and inner recovery, part of Meditations on the Rideau, exploring the landscape as a place of transition and healing.
