The silhouette of the statue of Samuel de Champlain. Champlain has a statue in Québec City because he founded the settlement, but he was also the first to navigate up the Ottawa River to the level of Ottawa.
The picture is a bit fuzzy, but I like it a lot.

Our customers love our Sorvino home plan, but we wanted to offer a version with some variations on the floor plan. Rather than separate dining and breakfast rooms, the Champlain has a single dining area off the kitchen. And we've added a luxurious screen porch with fireplace accessed from that dining area. Eliminating the second eating area from the home plan allowed us to add a roomy pantry, a powder room, and a dedicated e-space to the utility zone between kitchen and garage. *Photographed home may have been modified from the original construction documents. *https://www.dongardner.com/house-plan/1284/the-champlain/

Built by Canadian Pacific Hotels for the Expo 67 World's Fair in Montreal, it is now a Marriot Hotel. At 133 metres (436 feet), it is still Montreal's tallest hotel, taller than even the nearby Sheraton.
People call it the "Cheese Grater" because of the unusual shape of the windows.

The statue of Samuel de Champlain standing watch above the mouth of the Rideau Canal is one of the most striking monuments in Ottawa — a city not lacking in bronze statues. It’s a perfectly placed work of public art. If you’re anywhere on the river side of Parliament Hill, Champlain catches your eye and holds it.
As a founder of New France and early explorer of the Ottawa River, Champlain holds an important place in Canadian history. His perch over the Ottawa River is symbolically located. But for a statue with a faultless location, its history is remarkably blemished. The bronze Champlain was installed in 1915 to mark the 300th anniversary of the real Champlain’s second voyage up the Ottawa River, even though the date chiselled into the front of the monument commemorates his first voyage in 1613.
The statue’s creator, Hamilton MacCarthy, also made a rather blatant error when providing Champlain with accessories. MacCarthy was an Englishman who moved to Canada in 1885 and soon became one of the country’s preeminent sculptors — but neglected researching how to properly use an astrolabe, an antique navigation device. As such, the statue has Champlain holding an astrolabe upside down and upright, instead of hanging below his hand as it would have been used.
Yet the astrolabe mistake was overshadowed in another controversy when the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) led a widely-publicized protest in June 1996. The protest was about the smaller statue of an aboriginal scout, also sculpted by MacCarthy, which was placed at the foot of Champlain in 1924. The statue came to be seen by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) as a woefully disrespectful portrayal of the role aboriginal people played in the formation of Canada.
It took three years for the National Capital Commission, the federal agency responsible for Nepean Point, to make a decision about how to respond to AFN’s complaint. The NCC worried that altering the famous work would create legal issues with MacCarthy’s descendants.
But in 1999, a consensus was finally reached that the scout would be removed from Champlain’s feet. Today he kneels with a bow and quiver in nearby Major’s Hill Park, gazing across the canal at Parliament.

Another shot of the Champlain Bridge in Montreal. Converted to B&W with minimal contrast work to highlight all the gorgeous angles. Man, I love the patterns in this construction... who THINKS of stuff like that?
