Lone skater Don Metzger casts a dark shadow as he takes his time strolling around the Ottawa Park skating rink during a sunny and mild winter afternoon. He skates at the park about 3 to 4 times a week, while his wife sits inside the rink and reads a book.

Don Metzger enjoys the solitude of the Ottawa Park skating rink, where he skates three or four times a week while his wife reads inside.

The ice could be thinning, as highs in the 40s are expected tomorrow through Saturday.
