Picking up where we left off yesterday, this view on the terrace looks over the Rideau Canal towards Plaza Bridge.
And this looks up at the Chateau Laurier itself.
Further along, I took this shot. The building here close to the bridge is the lockmaster station.
I took another shot of Parliament Hill from here.
Then I headed up onto the bridge for this shot.
Crossing the street, I took a shot of the former main train station, now the government conference centre. The Senate is presently meeting here.
And then two takes of the Chateau.
Moving into what is called Confederation Square, I took this shot of the National Arts Centre. Its glass lantern was lit up.
Across the square from the NAC lies three distinctive buildings, collectively called The Chambers.
And at the heart of the square is the National War Memorial.
I close out with this view of the NAC and its glass lantern. Tomorrow we start looking at some art.
I can almost hear the snow crunching underfoot and the chill in the air. How I miss a proper winter.
ReplyDeletePleasantly lit.

ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
