Promenades

 Continuing where I left off yesterday, looking out from the Shaw Centre takes in views of the National Arts Centre across the Canal, as well as Parliament Hill, the Government Conference Centre, and the Chateau Laurier.

Here on the second level, a look down to the first.

A conference was underway up here with a lot of people- and presumably on the upper two levels, as the escalator was stanchioned off, so I was unable to take in the views from the upper promenades. Oh well, there's always next time.

As I said yesterday, this is an example of modern architecture done right.

Outside, and taken from the Mackenzie King Bridge as it crosses the Rideau Canal.

The wall is done in the shape of a tulip petal on its side, which is more noticeable at right.

One more shot from here, taken from the terrace at the National Arts Centre.
