Colours

A reminder to members of City Daily Photo that the theme for December is Slow.

More fall colours today around Ottawa. 

I was in the Nepean area one day, and fall colours alongside this church caught my eye.

A bus ride later, I was waiting up at the Tunney's Pasture transit station. Trees outside the perimeter drew my attention.

This vibrant tree was outside a bank in the Glebe.

One day I headed out in the direction of Lebreton Flats.

Pindigen Park is here, and this tree certainly drew me.

Autumn colours around nearby buildings had the same effect.

Here we look across at the Canadian Firefighters Memorial, with fall colours in the background. The large statue of a firefighter points towards a wall with names of those firefighters who have died in service.

Across the road is the National Holocaust Monument, with the War Museum in the background.

My path led me on, in the direction of the nearby Portage Bridge.

Here at Richmond Landing, I took more shots of fall colours.

I kept moving along the bridge, which spans the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. The river passes through a series of islands here, including Victoria Island, home to the ruins of an old carbide mill. We'll pick up here tomorrow.
