Back into my series on the Tulip Festival. After leaving Major's Hill Park, I passed by the Chateau Laurier, where tulips and lilacs were showing off.
This portion of the building frames a view of the Parliament Buildings.
I went into Confederation Square, the very heart of the city, and in many ways the country. Its central point is the National War Memorial, dedicated in memory of those who fought and died in Canadian wars and in other military duties. The Memorial is surrounded by landmarks like the Chateau Laurier, Parliament Hill, The Chambers, the National Arts Centre, and the Government Conference Center. In May, tulips are to be found surrounding it.
After the winter, military sentries are positioned in front of it in daytime, overlooking the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
I crossed the street. My next destination was Parliament Hill itself.
Hi William, I am surprised to see the lilacs. Here in Montreal the lilacs I saw have sadly 😥 shriveled up and died. Beautiful series, and your last three photos deserve to be put in a frame.
ReplyDeleteBear in mind that these photos were taken in May.
