A couple of extra shots before leaving the Museum. It is possible to get behind the waterfall alongside the terrace to photograph Parliament Hill. It has been awhile since I've last done so.
Back at the top of the stairs, a look out at the grounds and the Ottawa River before departing.
Heading across the Alexandria Bridge back for Ottawa, I like incorporating the bridge into photographs, framing images of the city beyond.
In this case, that includes framing Nepean Point, and the statue of Champlain.
I finish with a view of a scene I can never get tired of photographing.
Lovely photos. The view in the last photo is stunning.

The second and last photos are heavenly.

Your intimate relationship with these scenes comes through in your 'native' photos somehow, William

always interesting to get behind a waterfall
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views from the bridge. I like the way you've used it as a frame.
ReplyDeleteKind of like the Disneyland of the north only better. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine running through that waterfall on a hot day!

Super Museum of History shots Both here and last post William, I can see why you never tire of that last view, pretty special!
ReplyDeleteGetting behind waterfalls is always cool!
ReplyDeleteWonderful views from here.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be the oddball here. I like the first shot best.
ReplyDelete@Orvokki: it was a pleasant day!
ReplyDelete@Tomas: thanks!
@Cloudia: I do love living in this part of the world, despite those pesky politicians!
@Gerald: it is, yes. The design of this waterworks terrace, which I presume must come from the architect Douglas Cardinal, suits the museum well.
@Halcyon: of the interprovincial bridges here, the Alexandria's my favourite.
@Revrunner: that's one way of looking at it!
@Janis: I've put my head under on a hot day!
@MB: you're welcome.
@Grace: it certainly is.
@Jose: even when they're artificial!
@Sharon: thanks!
These are some fine shots. I do like the shot along side the waterfall.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the waterfall and the bridge with nice views over Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteI think you have one of the most beautiful cities on the continent! And your pics are magnificent - especially the panoramas!
ReplyDeleteI love the capture of water in the first photo! How fun you can go behind the waterfall. The view in the last photo is incredible!
ReplyDeleteLove that last shot, William!
ReplyDeleteThe first and the last photos are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteYour last photo is impressive. When you enlarge it you can see the locks. I notice that some high rises are now being built.
ReplyDeleteThat last scene, in particular, is terrific.
ReplyDeletei like the dripping water shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge.
ReplyDeleteImpressive structure, great view!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand why you never tire of that view...

@VP: I particularly like having a section for pedestrian traffic.
@Geoff: it's one of my favourite spots in the area, crossing that bridge either way.
@Beth: this one's had restoration work done on it, but it dates back quite a long while.
The last image is so inviting!
ReplyDeleteThe museum is such a fantastic place: outside as well as the inside. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the water in your first shot! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool to get behind a waterfall!

Neat looking bridge! Love the first and last shots too.

ReplyDeleteI am fascinated over those bridges you took William.

ReplyDeleteThis bridge reminds me of Liberty Bridge in Budapest. Even the statue close to the bridge ... I will show you tomorrow in my Budapest blog :)
