Located at the western edge of Canada’s Capital Greenbelt, Shirleys Bay is an internationally significant conservation area on the Ottawa River. The natural wetland features along the shore, as well as the inland wetlands, provide many benefits, including improved water quality and thriving wildlife habitats.
Explore nature on seven kilometres of trails at Shirleys Bay: you’ll get a healthy dose of fresh air, and may also get a chance to observe some of the area’s wildlife inhabitants. (ncc-ccn.gc.ca)

Another section of the Shirley's Bay trail system, this part of the trail goes through an old tree plantation. It is always very quiet and dark here, an often welcome respite after walking on the sunnier sections of the trail.

This section of the trail is always cool and shady, even when the sun is out and the sky is blue. It is a moment of respite from the heat, although it is usually very quiet with little bird song.

This will most probably be the last of my trip postings.....so I though I'd go out with a dramatic type shot ....I had made a few b/w with the purple and orange filters on.....I love the detail of this magnificent old hotel against the big and puffy clouds....
Thank you for all of the great comments you have left me regarding my trip to Ottawa and Montreal.... you are the best.
Parliament Hill colloquially known as The Hill, is an area of Crown land on the southern banks of the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. Its Gothic revival suite of buildings serves as the home of the Parliament of Canada and contains a number of architectural elements of national symbolic importance. Parliament Hill attracts approximately 3 million visitors each year. Originally the site of a military base in the 18th and early 19th centuries, development of the area into a governmental precinct began in 1859, after Queen Victoria chose Bytown as the capital of the Province of Canada. Following a number of extensions to the parliament and departmental buildings and a fire in 1916 that destroyed the Centre Block, Parliament Hill took on its present form with the completion of the Peace Tower in 1927.
