Finishing off this set from the Bank Street Bridge and the Canal, I have three shots of a favourite photographic subject. Southminster United Church looms above the Canal at the north end of Old Ottawa South.
I prefer to avoid photographing moving cars in a shot, but this one turned up, and somehow seemed fitting.
And over on the west side of the bridge, I have this view of the church and the Canal. I took another shot from here, but I'll save that one for a spring view in comparison.
For a moment I thought that first image was sepia. Nice looking church.
ReplyDeleteLooks good.
ReplyDeleteIt is fitting. You are a classic B&W photog with the stark winter landscapes

We have known The Bank Street Bridge, officially Known as the Bank Street Canal Bridge, inch by inch. Thanks to your
ReplyDeletedaily descriptions.
Have a good week end, William.
Tomás.
Have enjoyed these posts of the bridge. I like the west view the best. Is there a limit to the number of skaters they allow on the canal at any one time?
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to miss the ice and snow, William!
ReplyDeletewe are getting to the "dirty" part of winter/spring, when everything is melting and it leaves piles of dirt everywhere.........
ReplyDeleteQue de neige encore :0)
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteFab shots - i think I like the last one with the trees the best!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the cars give a photo perspective. Love the pics. Hate to see a church so close to a highway.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday, William.

it does 'loom' as quite large. :)
ReplyDeleteWilliam, I'll look forward to the spring view....we have seen so many snow pictures this winter! Great image on that last one.
ReplyDeleteI do like the roadway in the foreground. My favorite building you've shown us is on your banner. Stunner!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful old church William, can see why it's a favourite.. Looks so good in the third shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church!
ReplyDelete@Linda: I do enjoy photographing that one, but I've never taken shots from that angle before.
ReplyDelete@Whisk: thanks!
@Cloudia: these ones certainly have a black and white feel to them.
@Tomas: thanks!
@Fun60: not particularly. You might have tens of thousands of people on the ice at any given time on the weekends, but they're well spread out over nearly eight kilometres of skating surface.
@EG: I definitely will!
@Gill: yes, it's not pleasant to look at right now.
@Audrey: one can never have too much snow.
@Hilary: thanks!
@Aimee: I do too.
@Janis: well, in this case it works. The parkway below isn't that busy, but Bank Street is.
@Tex: it's quite a sprawling church, really.
@William: I will miss the winter though!
@Birdman: Parliament will probably turn up on my spring banner as well, which I'd better post soon.
@Grace: Thanks!
@Norma: it is!
It's such a beautiful church. My older sister was married there 30 some years ago.
ReplyDeleteLooks cold! I like the last one the best.
ReplyDeleteIt still looks like winter out there.
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my favourite today, William, I specially like the lines in the landscape.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is that last one, William. :)
ReplyDelete@Deb: it's a church with a lot of history and character.
ReplyDelete@Judy: that appears to be the consensus.
@Sharon: this morning certainly seems wintery!
@Jan: thanks!
@Linda: thank you!
Keep warm and enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI also like the last one the best ! Still winter there, ha?
ReplyDeleteHey, cars in the third photo too! I don't find a car in such a photo out of place. You had a fast enough speed to get the car in focus.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a bit late up there... Amazing shots!
ReplyDeleteI like the last view a lot, William!
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is my favourite (probably because the snow is visible!)
ReplyDeleteCiel took the words right out of my mouth !
ReplyDelete@Gunn: it's been a cool weekend thus far!
ReplyDelete@Karl: very much so. It might change in a couple of weeks. We will see.
@Red: I got lucky with these shots. They almost seem as if they've stopped.
@VP: spring will eventually turn up here.
@RedPat: thanks!
@Ciel: it certainly is.
@Anna: that seems to be a consensus this time.
Looks like your roads are actually holding up better than ours.
ReplyDeleteI like the third shot best. It seems to tell more of a story.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like spring is taking its time arriving in Ottawa!
I liked all the shots. Wonderful old church building.
ReplyDeleteIt's an impressive looking building for sure. I love the last image.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot could almost be a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteSO Purdy! Trees, snow, and a church make for absolute beauty...
ReplyDeleteI like comparison photos! I shall wait with bated breath!
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: ours take some damage over a winter.
ReplyDelete@Kay: it usually takes its time.
@Mari: thanks!
@Hilary: thank you.
@Randy: that it is.
@Cheryl: it could be!
@Shelly: they do!
@Jennifer: thanks!
