Autumn

One day earlier in the month I walked around at Lansdowne Park. There's a ridgeline alongside the east end of the stadium that I was on in this first shot. I'm looking towards the Aberdeen Pavilion here, and fall colours beyond the lawn.


I moved towards the top, where the Rideau Canal can be glimpsed beyond the treeline in this shot. This bright red tree particularly stood out.


The eastern ridge has its summit here. A light sculpture has been placed on the hilltop, particularly vivid at night. I really should photograph it sometime.


I carried on along the path on the south side of the stadium.


My path took me to a spot that looks across at the cupola just visible above the trees. It's on the other side of the Canal, and used to be a convent. The building houses the administrative centre, the Royal College of Physicians And Surgeons, which oversees med students in the area.


I took a second version of it mostly for the long grasses below, planted at this spot.


From there I proceeded to the Bank Street Bridge for a couple of shots looking east. Fall colours were coming along nicely.

  1. A pleasant place for a stroll. Your autumn colours when you took the walk are about how ours are now.

    @DJan: I'll definitely have to photograph it and put it into an odds and ends post sometime before year's end.

    @Anvilcloud: that they are.

    @Tom: and since I took these shots, the Canal water level is being lowered for the winter.

  13. great fall colors, we have a few ... they are a bit more muted this year. i am guessing it has to do with the shortage of rain and such? foggy this AM. wonder if we will have more rain? ( ;

  23. Thank you for the autumn stroll, one of the things I really miss about living in the northern hemisphere is the changing of the seasons. It is different in Western Australia there is not as many deciduous trees and no stunning displays of colours as the leaves turn.

  27. I always dread this season only because of the one that comes next... but when it is here, it's magic in the making. I just came from a walk in the park still full of colour. No camera this time. On purpose. I just wanted to be part of it with no distractions. It was wonderful!
