Je marchais dans le centre-ville de Gatineau; il neigeait, puis ce fut une tempête. J’ai trouvé refuge dans le Musée canadien de l’histoire (chanceux!), où j’ai déambulé sans but avec mon appareil en attendant une accalmie. À un moment donné, je me suis trouvé devant cet entrelacs de rampes et d’escaliers, qui ne demandaient qu’à être photographiés. /

I was walking through downtown Gatineau; it was snowing, and then it turned into a blizzard. I took shelter in the Canadian Museum of History (lucky me!), where I wandered aimlessly with my camera, waiting for the storm to let up. At one point, I found myself standing in front of this intricate network of railings and staircases, which were just begging to be photographed.

So the October 26 event says sold out, but it’s actually free and people can stand or lean so still - come on out! People cancel… it will be fine.

The mini walks after the two presentations happening at 10:30-11:30 and 1:30-2:30 will be refreshing and fun. I heard we may get rain even!

On October 26 I will be giving walks and talks at the Presidio Visitor Center, as part of a month of SF Stairway events!

Walk #37 features Tunnel Tops and Battery Bluff Park in the tenth edition of Stairway Walks in San Francisco, and I include free things to do in Further Ramblings for each walk as well. It’s fun!

Come out for a walk, or some trivia and you can even get a signed book!

This is the closing event of SF Stairway Month. Link offers four other SF Stairway Month walk events planned out as well.

Happy heeling, frisky footing and merry walking all!
