Rainbows

A reminder to members of City Daily Photo: for the first of November, the theme is Great Big Mess. 

I have some odds and ends shots today, taken over the last few weeks. Late one afternoon, close to home, a rainbow was appearing in the eastern sky.

On another day, coming back from the Alexandra Bridge, I photographed this sculpture, Dialogues, which neatly frames Parliament Hill.

A short walk away, this view of Notre Dame Basilica is taken beside the National Gallery. Maman is visible at right.

On another day, and on a walk I'll start showing you tomorrow, I was returning from Gatineau on the Alexandra Bridge. This view looks back at the Museum of History, with a tour boat heading downstream on the Ottawa River.

A look back to the Ottawa shoreline gives us the familiar landmarks of the Hill and the Chateau Laurier.

And a little while later brought me to the other side of that view, with the Rideau Canal crossing beneath the Mackenzie King Bridge. The National Arts Centre accompanies Parliament Hill on the left bank, while the Government Conference Centre accompanies the Chateau on right. I love photographing this stretch of water.

A few days later, one morning in the Glebe, I noticed another rainbow shortly after dawn.

These last two include Fourth Avenue Baptist Church.
