I've known for years that when people sign up for an event, not everyone actually shows up. And that's okay.
At my last photo walk, in June, the event quickly filled up. Not that that was difficult: I only opened 12 spots for this free event. But when people signed up so quickly for it, I was encouraged to expand the number of participants to 16, and those spots were quickly taken.
Of course, only about half of those people showed up, and we had a great time. If you're interested in seeing the photos from that Brown Knowser Photo Walk, among others, the link is here.
But what was most encouraging was that people who wanted to attend the last photo walk, but couldn't make it (not those who signed up, but those who knew about the event but had other commitments) said that they would attend the next one.
Well, folks, the next one is coming soon.
On Friday, September 21, let's meet at the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill at 6:00 pm and do a short lap.
What I propose is a wander from the flame, west, down Wellington Street, with stops of the Supreme Court building, the Library and Archives, and places in between. We'll then head down to the river, with a stop at Richmond Landing and the Royal Canadian Navy Monument, and take the path under the Parliament buildings to the Rideau Canal, and finally up the locks, back up to Wellington Street, and past the East Block to the Centennial Flame.
With luck, we'll be atop Dufferin Bridge, looking down at the canal, for sunset (around 7:00). With even more luck, the sunset will be spectacular.
Are you in?
As I said, this is a free event but you must register (so that I know how many people to expect). To sign up, go to my Eventbrite site. The circuit should take an hour or so to complete, and we can hang around the Hill to catch the Peace Tower during the blue hour, after the sun has set.
I hope to see you then!
