Along The River

Picking up where I left off yesterday,  I photographed across the Rideau Canal.

This view includes the National Gallery and Nepean Point above the river. At present, there is work going on at Nepean Point, with a complete reconfiguration of the ampitheatre. The statue of Champlain that tops the Point has been moved for the time being.

I stated walking along the path that follows the river, heading upstream.

This caught my eye.

And here's the staircase heading up the side of Parliament Hill.

These bushes along the path caught my eye with their red fall colours.

As I followed the path, I would look back again for colours along the Hill.

A close up of some of the trees here.

Here we have a view over to Richmond Landing and Victoria Island beyond it. The Navy Monument is the white structure at left. The Ottawa River comes through this area in a set of channels among islands, crossed by the Portage Bridge. The ruins of an old mill are on the island.

Here in the Richmond Landing area, I looked up towards Library and Archives Canada at the top of the hill.

And this is my last fall shot taken, with this channel of the Ottawa River. The presence of man has had its influence here; upstream from here is a pumping station and the channel beyond that seems to be man-made, with this area looking somewhat more natural. It felt fitting to have this as the last shot of my fall series.
