Peter's Official Web - Summer Of Flowers And Fireworks

I went to Ottawa on the long weekend of Victoria Day, and the main purpose was to watch the fireworks. On Saturday morning, I went to the National Gallery of Canada to see the art exhibition and then stopped by Major's Hill Park to see the tulips. There are really many colours. It was sunny that morning and the temperature reached 30 degrees, but suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the afternoon. It took a while for the rain to stop, so I went for a walk in the city center again.
The luck on the weekend was really good. Although the rain gradually became heavy after lunch, the weather turned clear in the evening. At about 7:30 pm, I saw the sunset, and the sky was cloudless. Packed up for a while and headed to Commissioners Park to wait for the 10 pm fireworks. Everyone thought that the fireworks show would be upstream, so there were a lot of people upstream, so I walked along Dow's Lake for a while, basically reaching the middle. I thought I would definitely not see the front of the fireworks, but what I never expected was that the fireworks show was actually opposite me, and I was speechless at that time. I haven't seen such a large-scale fireworks show for many years. When the fireworks exploded, I seemed to be back when I was a child for Chinese New Year. At that time, there was no epidemic, no fireworks control, and no worries. At that time, I spent years and years with a group of best friends. At that time ...At that time..., but those are forever fixed in the past, there is no longer the excitement and joy of watching fireworks as a child, replaced by another feeling. So I spent the 15 minutes that were beyond words with the firework show.
It may be that I was lucky on Sunday. I got up late at next day morning, so couldn't catch the morning train, and there were no tickets for the following two trains, so I only bought a ticket for the last train. Sadly, I went home at midnight. But I like to travel alone more and more, and I am looking forward to the next time.

Best wishes anyway 🔚

Victoria Day的那个长周末去了趟渥太华，最主要的目的就是为了去看烟花。周六的那天上午去National Gallery of Canada看了画展，随后顺便到Major's Hill Park 看了看郁金香，真的有好多种颜色啊。那天上午大晴天气温居然到了30度，但是下午突然就雷暴了。过了好一阵子雨才停，于是我又去市中心走了走。

周末的运气真的很好，虽然吃过午饭后雨逐渐下大了，但是在傍晚的时候天气居然转晴了，在大概在七点半的时候还看见了落日，天空万里无云。收拾了片刻就立即去Commissioners Park等待晚上10点的烟火。大家都以为烟花表演会在上游，所以上游的人很多，于是我就沿着Dow's Lake 走了一段距离，基本到了中间的位置。本以为一定会看不到烟花的正面，但是让我万万没想到的是烟花表演居然在我的正对面，当时顿时失语。算了算，真的已经很多年没有看到过这种大型烟花表演了。当烟花炸裂的那一刻，我好像回到了儿时过年的时候，那时候没有疫情、没有烟花管控、没有烦恼，那时候和一群关系最好的朋友们度过了一年又一年，那时候……那时候……，但是那些被永远定格在了从前，再也没有了儿时看烟花时的那种激动和快乐，取而代之的是另一种感觉，很多当年很好的朋友都不再联系了。于是我就这样一个人度过了那溢于言表的15分钟。

可能是周日的运气太好了，第二天早上睡过了，没能赶上早晨的火车，并且之后的两班火车也已经没了票，于是只买到了最后一班车的车票，结果半夜才到家。但是越来越喜欢自己一个人的旅行啦，开始期待下一次。祝好 🔚
