a giant frozen tentacle porn adventure!
February 12, 2010
Peter and I took a walk through the trails around Duchesnay Falls this afternoon. The only part of the river that wasn’t completely frozen over was this bit at the bottom, where water rushed up into a spectacular ice formation that resembled a gigantic frozen cephalopod, sucking and lapping at the water with its gross mouth tentacles. We were standing on frozen river to take these photos (I was unreasonably nervous about being on the water considering the ice was probably a metre thick in some places).
A frozen bridge of ice tentacles:
Peter is standing on the river here, about halfway down the falls. Because he cares about SAFETY, he did not attempt to swim. Because I care about hypothermia (and, specifically, avoiding it) I didn’t try to swim either. I was tempted, though.
It’s perhaps not apparent here, but Peter is standing near the top of a pretty much vertical drop about 15 metres down to the river. This was right after we crossed the river ice and CLIMBED up. I’d just like to point out here that my boots, while warm and shiny and sturdy, are made for walking around all winter on nice, safe, snow-covered city sidewalks. They’re a tad slippy on the climbing straight up snowy cliff faces with practically zero footholds. I would have been scared to climb that if it hadn’t been covered in snow. Oh, and also I walked face first right into a huge branch that hung out over the trail and just about knocked myself out. Just like in the cartoons!
Peter, on the other hand, has the perfect boots for living up here. He rarely gets a chance to use them down in balmy Windsor.

“Balmy Windsor” would be an excellent name for a band.
