Summer Drives Alongside The Ottawa River

 Yesterday I mentioned that in early August I went out to Nepean to take part in a first aid course. Along the way, buses pass along the parkway for a good stretch of the Ottawa River, with Gatineau on the far shore. This is upstream from Island Park and the Champlain Bridge. On the first morning I pointed my phone out the window and took several shots.


The following morning I did the same, with different skies. Later in the day there would be rain.

  4. Looks like a very pleasant drive, William. I assume you were a passenger and not driving!

  8. I like point and shoots. They are scorned as not being high quality but there should be more of them.

  15. Some nice scenery there, I was trying to work out what the person was doing on the side of the road until I realized they were on a bicycle.

  16. William - the shots from both days are very pretty in their own way, and it is interesting to see the contrast. I wish we were getting some rain out here!
