So I did another night walk this morning. I awoke at 1h35 and was out of the apartment by 1h50. The first thing I noticed was how big the moon was. I wish I had a camera that does moon pictures well, but anyhow, here it is:

This is the route I took:

I traveled the route counter-clockwise and that long straight line on the north side of the loop had me pass five train stations. The first one was near my apartment:

A little further along there was a spot on the path running adjacent to the train tracks that the street light was out, so I got a better look:

There is a little speck of a dot to the left of the moon that even my mobile device camera was able to pick up. I wasn't sure what it was, so then I did this:

So even though Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter were in almost the same spot in the night sky, it is almost definitely Jupiter that is that small speck. The next four photos are of the stations I passed and one photo I took of part of the lit path.

Soon after the Beaurepaire station the road comes to an end and then it is an unlit path through the forest. Fortunately the moon lit my path. The next two are from reaching the Baie-D'urfé station and just past the station.

I continued south on Morgan, past Surrey, and all the way to Lakeshore:

Then I started walking east on Lakeshore, it becomes 'Beaconsfield Blvd' in Beaconsfield, but by the map above you can see that I walked the Lakeshore road south of Beaconsfield Blvd. Here is where I crossed Woodland:

You can see in the above photo that the sky is starting to get lighter.

Just a bit further on this section of Lakeshore south of Beaconsfield Blvd is a park called St. Louis where I was able to take the following photos:

Then from Lakeshore I took Neveu up to Beaconsfield Blvd and continued east:

Here the sun was imminently rising; the clouds above were coloured in highlights of pink and dark pink; but my mobile device camera produces this:

As of about the Beaurepaire station my left knee started to ache, and it would come in waves so I knew that if I kept going, eventually the pain would ebb. When I got into the southern part of Pointe-Claire, however, it became too difficult to continue. At almost exactly where the white circle is in the map that is the one on the south side closest to the east side, that is where I stopped walking, had to wait about 30 minutes, and caught a bus the rest of the way home.

On the previous day I had run 5km, and also, later that same day, I walked there and back (11km) to drop something of at my mother-in-law's house.

The next time I do a night walk; I will take it easy the few days prior; hopefully that will help.
