Up on the observation deck in the Peace Tower, there are great views to be had. Some of these would be ideal for a theme day later in the year which has to do with looking down, but at present I already have shots from two different locations for that one. This first image looks east, to Major's Hill Park, the American embassy, the Connaught Building, and the Chateau Laurier.
Another easterly look takes in the East Block as well as the path of the Rideau Canal.
This display made me look up and photograph one of the clock faces on the Tower. The observation deck is directly beneath the clocks. More from here tomorrow.
Great perspective on your beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteYour city, as it shows us, is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy week end, William !
Tomás.
You feel yourself very tiny when so close to the clock.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a peace tower William :) Excellent views from above, I'll have to start keeping my open for such shots!
ReplyDeleteLove the name, Peace Tower. Your vantage point makes the buildings below look tiny!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Old Post Office building in D.C. now owned by Trump. Thank goodness the tower remains in the hands of our government. :-)
