Sunset over the Museum (Explore)

Ottawa River

Parliament Hill

Ottawa, Ontario

 

Here’s a shot taken from behind Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The scene shows the Ottawa River with the province of Quebec on the opposite bank. On the far left is the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the bridge on the right is the Interprovincial Bridge, aka the Alexandria Bridge.

 

At the bottom right, just out of frame, is the start of the Rideau Canal which winds its way for 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Ottawa down to the city of Kingston on Lake Ontario, incorporating 45 locks along the way. But that’s for another photo essay some day :)
