Sightings Upon The Pathway

 Continuing where I left off yesterday on the high ground, I took this shot looking across the river towards Gatineau. The rise of the Gatineau Hills can be seen on the horizon, and the Alexandra Bridge crosses the river as well. The Museum of History is on the far shore.

A look back towards Centre Block with its work going on, and East Block beyond that. Pearson and the Queen watch over it all.

I headed down off the high ground to a viewing platform below.

A look to the north, with the pathway running along the top of the Hill. A staircase down to the shore below is, I believe, a complete rebuild, though because of work down at the shoreline at present, the staircase is off limits.

Looking up towards the Queen and the towers of West Block.

The pathway beckoned me on. The structure at right is utilitarian and modern. I'm not sure if it'll be something that will remain after all of the work is done.

A look west from near the stair entrance.

Up here are a series of glass panels mounted onto stone- these make up the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial, honouring those officers who have died in the line of duty.

The last time I was out here, the path was essentially closed off here because of the work. As fate would have it, the path was open all the way around. I close off today with this view of the marvelous Library of Parliament. Linked to the building by a corridor, it is likely being left alone, as it wasn't that many years ago when the Library was undergoing restoration and upgrade work.
