In late July, I stopped on the Bank Street Bridge for a sunset view over the Rideau Canal.
Turning back around gave me a view of the rising moon and the Sunnyside branch of the Ottawa Public Library, which has the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons as its neighbour.
Tomorrow I have a different twilight from here to show you by contrast. Before then, however, I wanted you to see this treatment of my profile pic, done by Collin Beishir and initially placed at The International Intruder page Norma and I maintain over at Facebook. I'm planning on adding some memes to this for my election day post in October.
I actually do look like Bane!
Lovely canal - scary William!
ReplyDeleteCloudia nails it!
DeleteLove the reflections. Indeed scary, William! LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! Love the reflection and the lights in them!
ReplyDeleteThe reflections are nice and you are quite scary!
ReplyDeleteVery nice views of the sunset.
ReplyDeleteI like Cloudia's comment. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is very important never to lose the sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
... the bane of your existence, I guess. Couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteI do like that canal in every kind of light! The whole area is beautiful. But who's that guy with the mask? Yikes!
ReplyDelete@Cloudia: I've been adapting Bane quotes!
ReplyDelete@Linda: it's quite a contrast to tomorrow's post from the bridge though.
@Weekend: it's a great place to take in the sunset.
@VP: thank you!
@Marianne: the bridge is one of my favourite places in the city.
@Revrunner: I did too!
@Tomas: definitely!
@Birdman: hah!
@Lowell: he's rather nefarious, I think.
I love the reflections in the canal!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery and lovely sunset view. You do look scary with the mask on.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, you're the only guy I know who'd be happy to discover he looks like Bane!
ReplyDeleteTony Stark, yes. Thor, yes. Star-Lord, yes. But...Bane?
Hahaha, funny picture.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Oh that's too good. Man I get so jealous whenever you post pics of that canal. I would love to photograph that.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hoot, William!
ReplyDeleteFunny!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was going to say beautiful sunset until I saw your new photo and that stopped me for a minute. It got my attention.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! :-) And in the same post as a pretty moon... :-)
ReplyDeletei loved the soft light. then, bam! scary!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the water and its reflections. Gorgeous lighting. Bane? I wonder when he will turn up again in a movie. You could audition :)
ReplyDeleteNice moonrise pictures William a bit of a scary face though..
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: I wonder what my mother would have made of that face.
ReplyDelete@RedPat: thanks!
@Nancy: I'm startled by how much I do look like the character.
@Norma: "you think this gives you power over me?"
@Whisk: thank you!
@Krisztina: it's one of my favourite photo subjects, particularly from this location.
@EG: thank you!
@Jackie: thanks!
@Red: that's what it was meant for!
@Ciel: yes, I'm odd that way.
@Tex: quite a switch!
@Denise: Bane when played right is a hell of a character. Obviously he was played completely wrong when Joel Schumacher put him into Batman & Robin, but that movie had pretty much everything wrong about it.
@Geoff: scary indeed!
Great pics including the Intruder!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots William. I love that time of day! I also saw that picture of you on FB the other day in my newsfeed and it gave me a chuckle.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's curiosities yesterday were too much. Now you've added to things that make me speechless. (Canal shots are lovely.)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful twilight shots William, magical time of the day! I prefer to see your handsome face :)
ReplyDeletetwilight is a gorgeous time of the evenng! ( ;
ReplyDeletePretty twinkle of lights round the canal. And your last photo looks as if you are preparing a mask for some Greek tragedy of alien proportions.
ReplyDelete@Mari: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Lois: thank you!
@Kay: thanks!
@Grace: hah!
@Beth: it is.
@Gemma: I can see that!
