Extraordinarily magical! Canada's Parliament Hill resembles a fairytale wonderland in winter! Though construction is ongoing during our visit, it's enchanting appeal didn't wane.
The weather fluctuated below or above -10 degrees Celcius. Taking photos while wearing gloves is impossible.
I pushed one glove out from my right hand, tucked it inside my coat pocket and kept clicking until I got my desired results.
A few minutes later, oh no, I could no longer feel my hand! Geez, I need to hurry back to the coffee shop and join the fam.
