Ice skating tours pictures. Aaagh! [recoil in terror e] I can't even really imagine people ice skating outside...




It's funny that comment Jackie. It reminds me that what seems so normal to one person can be extraordinary to another.

Here in Québec, nearly every park has an outdoor skating rink in the wintertime. Most of them are hockey rinks, but many parks are big enough to have a wide, iced-up ring around the hockey rink so folks can skate when there's a pick-up game on.

Parks too small to have a hockey rink will often have a simple iced-up ring or square.
