I carried on with my walk along the pathway that parallels the Rideau Canal.
There is a pond here near the Bank Street Bridge that is linked to the Canal. When the water levels are lowered for the winter, it too decreases in level.
Some Canada geese were having a bite to eat along the path. They gave me a look before deciding not to hiss at me.
Another view of the pond.
I liked these colours close by.
Here at the base of the bridge is this sign from the Dutch embassy with landmarks noted in the city, and the distance to the Netherlands. Quite a difference.
Here is the bridge itself. I passed under the arch.
On the other side of the bridge I took this shot of the stadium's south stands at Lansdowne Park.
And I finish today with this view looking east over the Canal from the Bank Street Bridge. I like how the cupola of the Royal College looms over the south shore.
Beautiful lake view and autumn colours.
ReplyDeleteOh, shame on me, I never knew the Netherlands are that close to Canada!
ReplyDeleteIn my defense.. I´m a woman...
Belas fotografias, gostei e aproveito para desejar um bom fim-de-semana.

Your autumn colours are now well established - the leaves here are turning very slowly.
ReplyDeleteNice variety of views and pics.
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased with the fact of these splendid geese being called Canada Geese, even scientifically Branta canadensis. They should stir the hearts of us all!
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty views and colorful trees. I like seeing the geese too. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
ReplyDelete...Ottawa in its autumnal beauty.
ReplyDeleteI would feel fairly far from home there.
ReplyDeleteI like the autumn colors, too, and the bridge is beautiful. :-)
ReplyDeleteSignal Hill in St. John’s has signs showing distances to places around the world and directional arrows. Love such signs.

ReplyDeleteThe red and white sign at the Dutch embassy is most common here. We call it 'paddestoel' or 'mushroom'.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful walk in autumn and seeing different things like the "mushroom", love seeing the colors too.
ReplyDeleteThat tree in your third photo is especially pretty.
